Comment (by muthuk):

 Replying to [comment:3 cehoyos]:
 > If you report that FFmpeg hangs, I believe you, no need to post ps
 output.
 >
 > Since no developer is able to reproduce the problem (because of your
 rtsp address), a backtrace is necessary.
 > Please run "$ gdb ffmpeg_g", then "r -i rtsp... " and when ffmpeg hangs,
 you interrupt it with Ctrl-C and type "bt" to get a backtrace, please post
 it here.

 Thanks you.

 I actually run/launch these from a perl script (launches 25 instances
 every ~6 minutes) and they fail at random (after 15-20 minutes or so). I
 don't think launching each invocation in gdb is feasible. I realize
 however that i can attach to an ffmpeg process & take a backtrace (cmd-
 line attach). I hope this is something that will work. Please correct me
 or point me in the right direction if this understanding is incorrect. I
 must admit i have been working in Java & am not too familiar with using
 gdb. So please forgive my amateurism.

 Also please let me know how to build ffmpeg with debug enabled.

 Thanks
 Muthu
