Thanks, hm could you change gst/gstregistrybinary.c line ~681 to the following?

  /* unpack plugin feature strings */
  unpack_string (*in, type_name);

  if (!type_name || !*(type_name)) {
    GST_ERROR ("No feature type name");
    return FALSE;
  }


and then get debug logs again the same way as before? Also, could you attach the
/home/alessio/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i486.bin file to this bug?
