It crashes on some slightly corrupted MPEG 2 files, which played fine
with the old version. See the file
"broken_file_crashes_libmpeg2_040b_worked_fine_in_03.m2v" in the
incoming folder of MPlayer's FTP. I have uploaded a complete bug
report. Maybe I will have a look on this bug later, as it seems to be
some kind of double free or something similar. If it is so, it might
be an exploitable bug, which can be activated remotely (think about
streaming mpeg2....)
