Crashes like this usually mean that somebody is interacting with a
CFRunLoop in a way that isn't thread safe. The usual cause is
somebody adding/removing a CFRunLoopSource to a run loop while that
run loop is processing stuff. The easiest way to do it is to call
CFRunLoopAddSource/CFRunLoopRemoveSource from a different thread
than the one that owns the given run loop.
The bundle ID "com.apple.mio.DAL.VDC" is a QuickTime thing I think.
So you might want to post this question to one of the QT developer
lists to see if it rings any bells there. BTW, it would probably be
helpful to see the entire crash report to see what sort of funny
business might be going on in other threads.
FWIW, you shouldn't hesitate to file a bug with us about this while
you pursue your investigation: http://bugreporter.apple.com
Yes, Jeff's right -- it's a QuickTime thing. Please file a bug.

We're seeing this crop up a number of times in some crash logs

I'm almost certain that I'm asking this in the wrong place, so
please forgive me if this is the case.
Should I just file a bug with Apple, or is there something else I
could have our user do to get more information? (it's a 10.5.5
system).
I'd like to file a bug with as much info as possible and I thought
it might be a smart idea to ask people with more knowledge that I
about this particular issue before I prematurely submit a worthless
bug report. If I should ask elsewhere please let me know and
sorry to bother you.
