Andreas Tille unwittingly caused some confusion by reporting a second
and unrelated bug on the same page as yours (message #113). That bug is
the one which I was able to reproduce with a Vorbis stream (message
#153) and forwarded to libneon27 (message #163).

The original bug which you reported, if I understand correctly, was that
Audacious would segfault on a poor network connection. At one time, I
also experienced segfaults related to network troubles. I reported this
problem upstream, and William Pitcock made some changes that fixed it.

I asked you (message #93) to see if those changes also fixed the
segfaults which you experienced. You did not want to try the upstream
version (message #98); well, now those changes have made it into Debian
Sid, in Audacious version 2.1-1.

Enjoy your vacation, and when you get back, please try the new version.
Thank you.
