Hmm, so in my last test I completely skipped gr-iqbal. I had gnuradio,
osmosdr with only file playback and python modules enabled, and gqrx.
You'll still get a crash if you start file playback, then goto demod and
change the type to nbfm, then wbfm. Believe it hits some cout in gnuradio
like "Resampling audio from 96000 -> 48000."

Given that line is just a cout, I'm geussing whatever logging facility is
hijacking cout and leaves it in a bad state after some destructor is
called.

Also, if you build with -fsanitize=address, you do see that there's a
memory corruption way before that destructor gets called, but I'm not sure
if it's related.

I gotta submit a PR for something in gr-dtv this weekend, so I might dig in
more while I have things setup.

Don,

I ran into the same exact issue while updating the windows build scripts.

Another fix is to manually define ENABLE_GR_LOG during build of iqbal and
gqrx to work around the issue without installing log4cpp.  It appears to
just affect those two so far.  The windows build does not currently include
log4cpp on 3.7.x builds.
