Comment (by kim):

 I have confirmed this with a stream from my internet/tv box. The sample is
 available here:

 http://idea.nguyen.vg/~kim/aac2.dump

 (few seconds of a french commercial). Video is H264, Audio is AAC. When
 compiled with --enable-pic
 with commit a46b84d1204 reverted, ffplay plays audio and video fine. With
 plain master
 (f9ecb849ef3) it segfaults as explained above. The stream also plays fine
 on x86 vlc (just to check that it's not too corrupt).

 Here are more infos and I'm attaching a gdb trace with full disassembly of
 the function (instead of pc-32, pc+32).
