Daniel:

Does the given .mov play for you in totem-gstreamer and does sending a
process make it leave a core dump? If so try this alternative technique:

1. Make a directory and copy moveyourfeet.mov inside.
2. Start a gnome-terminal and cd to that directory.
3. Run
while true; do if [[ `ls core* 2> /dev/null` != "" ]]; then echo -e "\acore detected"; fi; sleep 2; done
4. Press Ctrl-Shift N. In the new window run
while true; do gnome-video-thumbnailer -s 128 moveyourfeet.mov o; done
5. Press Ctrl-Shift N. In the new window run
while true; do killall gnome-video-thumbnailer; sleep 5; done;

Every now and then the gnome-video-thumbnailer window should say
Terminated but every now and then it will say Segmentation fault. The
sleep can be relatively low because when it is going to segfault gnome-
video-thumbnailer will segfault fairly quickly.
