Xbmc crashes with this patch. You can find two crashlogs attached.

I recompiled the xbmc package with only this patch. The steps were:
$ apt-get source xbmc/experimental
$ cd xbmc-13.0~beta2+dfsg1/
$ patch -p1 < ~/0001-Assert-when-decoding-fails-due-to-742896.patch
$ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
# ulimit -c unlimited
# invoke-rc.d lightdm start

I assume that it should crash when the assert fails, but it doesn't.
Is this a problem with my approach or with the patch?

Thanks,
Sergej
