Audacity crashes unexpectedly

Bug Description

Binary package hint: audacity

Obviously all crashes are unexpected, but Audacity crashes occasionally with no apparent cause; doing something it had done a moment ago, for example, without any trouble.

I was editing a multitrack project (imported ogg track plus recordings from the microphone). I generated a tone, undid it and generated it into a new track, then undid all that and tried to generate it into the imported ogg track again, and Audacity dumped. Everything (all ten minutes of work) was unsaved. Blah.

My roommate is having the same problem, and it has repeated multiple times. Seemingly at random times while working with Audacity on Fiesty on his new computer, it will crash, hard. Not just Audacity, but the whole system. He has to hard reboot to be able to do anything. It's only when working with Audacity and occasionally other audio apps are unstable, but not in the same way. I think there are problems in the audio parts of the Fiesty kernel that affect people with newer hardware.

I don't know if this will help or not.
See bug #116870. There may be glibc issues with audacity. Or maybe not.
Under my Gutsy install, Audacity doesn't load at all, and here is the backtrace.
It may be a stability problem that started in Feisty and has magnified in Gutsy.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
