package: libavcodec-dev
severity: serious
justification: probable cause of 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498397

donothing.c contains the following code (the segfault also happens 
without the printf statement I just added it to test if it happened 
before or after main ran)

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("doing nothing\n");
  return 0;
}

debian-mips:~# gcc donothing.c -o donothing
debian-mips:~# ./donothing
doing nothing
debian-mips:~# gcc donothing.c -o donothing -lavcodec
debian-mips:~# ./donothing
doing nothing
Segmentation fault
