I think I'm on the list.

Crashes seem to be produced frequently with the following configuration:

Qsynth 2.5 or 3.1 with meters enabled
ALSA audio driver
synth.ladspa.active=no

(gdb) p i
$1 = 0
(gdb) p di
$2 = -1209854928

The hardware supports 64-bit instructions, and is multi-core (Core 2 Duo).  The
library and qsynth executable are 32-bit, according to the output of 'file':

/usr/local/bin/qsynth: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

/usr/local/lib/libfluidsynth.so.1.1.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 
80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
