I'm, uh, playing videos. I'm not sure what else I could be doing. It happens
on any video stream regardless of the type or the display method. I just type
"mplayer foo.wmv" and it plays the video, then seg faults. If I type "mplayer
foo.avi foo.mpg" then it seg faults after the first one, which is pretty
annoying.

This is the same bug that I posted to mplayer-users about in message
<87el32aljk.fsf at stark.dyndns.tv> on April 22. I included a config.mak and
config.h there.

And it's the same bug I've read in various online reviews of mplayer, so it's
not like it's just my system or just in the CVS tip. This is a perennial bug
that seems to keep cropping up and keeps getting fixed and refixed. The odd
thing this time is that it's been months and hasn't been fixed.
