Nor myself, however I'm getting reports from quite a few other people 
here. These will all be SL6 users, not SL5 or SL7.

If they run it from a terminal window, they're getting a segfault, but 
with a variety of other symptoms:

some with segfault alone

one report of:
Query failed: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: 
database
disk image is malformed
Segmentation fault

one report of:
Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(p)->_ref) > 0' failed at 
pulsecore/pstream.c:328,
function pa_pstream_send_packet(). Aborting.
Redirecting call to abort() to mozalloc_abort
Segmentation fault

The database error suggests a bad sqlite file in the profile, but 
creating a fresh profile isn't a cure.
