I wish I still had saved a copy of the errors that mplayer was
returning without this patch.  I'm away from home for a few days
right now.  If I can call home and get one of my roomates to
help me out, maybe I can get a remote shell on my cygwin testing
machine and get back to you with the details of this whole thing.
I probably should have said exactly why this was needed in the
first place, but I was in a hurry to submit.  If I can't get this
done from my vacation, I'll start a new thread to get your attention
when I get home next week.  Is that OK?

Thanks for waiting,
