Hi John,

Don't do that.  :-)

This is Ubuntu?  I wonder where the core dump is ending up.  You could
`ulimit -c' to see the current limit on core-file size for that shell
and then `ulimit -c unlimited' if it's not that already.

Run `./get_iplayer --verbose' to see if that gives more of a clue how
far it's getting.  If not, change that option to `--debug'.

If nothing is clearer, run it under strace to help show what process is
suffering.  It should still suffer the SEGV.

    strace -fe execve get_iplayer

Cheers, Ralph.
