[MPlayer-dev-eng] zzuf fuzzer bugs

[A Mennucc]

hi

(for reasons too long to explain) I did run a program similar to
fuzzer some time ago, and I found and fixed some similar crashes ; I
have a family of patches, that I applied to MPlayer-in-Debian; I am a
bit busy now, but I have in my TODO to present those patches in this
list and discuss them; they affect h264 and mpeg2 in ffmpeg, and
mpeg in libmpeg2.

BTW this means that the version of MPlayer in Debian
is somewhat less likely to crash than the original one
(I have ~10 examples of files that did provoke crash and I fixed it)

a.
