Thanks, it's good to have someone testing the code other than me :) If
it works for you, it's one more reason to be sure it works for others
too =)

Which version of Python (python -V) are you using? I see gPodder wants
to create the TreeModel for one of your podcasts - have you tried
starting gPodder with an empty channel list also (it shouldn't matter,
but just in case..)?

A segfault is probably not related to gPodder, but to some extension
module of Python or Python itself (a bug in gPodder would cause a simple
Python backtrace or other strange errors).

How exactly have you installed python-feedparser? If your distribution
provides a package, please use that. If not, you might want to use
Python's "easy_install" utility.
