VLC 1.0.0-RC1 segfaults on MPEG-Audio

Hi guys!
After having successfully tested the pre-1 and pre-2 versions I'm currently trying to get the RC to work. I'm compiling on Ubuntu 8.10 with the standard Ubuntu-devel-packages (all deps but one unrelated one are resolved). The new 1.0.0-RC1 compiles just fine but when I run it and play an MP3-file or a video file with any kind of MPEG audio-track VLC exits with a segfault. All other audio-formats I tried worked just fine without causing any error. I suspected the new libmad-dependency to cause this error, however recompiling VLC and specifically disabling libmad on configure didn't change anything.
Any thoughts?
cheers,
moviemaniac
PS: I chose not to post the console output here because it's remarkably irrelevant. I don't get any other related output/error but the "Segmentation fault" - not even an output line about the file I tried to open.

Can you post a backtrace or messages?

Here's a funny thing: I recompiled VLC enabling debugging and guess what? It works like it should! So I recompiled it again for the umpteenth time, again without debugging functions (a plain ./ configure without specifically enabling or disabling anything) to try and reproduce the previous error and, sure enough, there it was again:
//edit: After more testing I can't reproduce the working version when compiling with --enable-debug...

A small update for what it's worth: I just compiled the latest GIT-snapshot ec6a7b8ec1fc9f070d1d5242836b1d643f9f2dd8 but the error still persists.

OK. Can you share the bugging file?
Can you change audio output module?

by bugging file you mean upload the compiled libvlccore.so.2.0.0 library? I will also try changing the audio output modules but I kinda depend on ALSA for S/PDIF passthrough.

Okay, so I played around with the audio-output and here's what I've found:
if I disable audio entirely (by using the according checkbox in VLC's settings) MP3-files play just fine - except for of course me not hearing anything. If I enable audio and select any of the audio modules (Alsa, OSS, Pulse) then VLC segfaults. All other types of audio files I've tried (either standalone or embedded in a video) work just fine. I don't know if that's of any help but that's what I've found...

Well, as I didn't get any answer I just went ahead and put the library in question, a new backtrace and some system info into this archive:
