The "mf://" bit.  Also, you should surround it with single quotes to 
preclude any possibility of shell wildcard expansion.

That sounds about right for 10fps. :-)

Try as I might, I can't duplicate your original problem using rc1.

I assume that all the images are the same resolution.  When I try it with 
differently dimensioned images, I get nastiness, but not the nastiness you 
described (resizing wierdness topped off by a segfault).

However, one thing that stands out is:

I could never get that to work properly with rc1 or rc2 (and haven't tried 
with current SVN), though it usually resulted in SIGILL or SIGSEGV crashes 
on those machines with older CPUs than the one I built on.  If this is 
some precompiled binary, I'd ditch it for one I built myself on the target 
machine.
