  Thanks for the information.

  Not needed yet. I will make local tests with that version and
verify/falsify my assumptions. Should you not hear back from me
in a week or so it might be a good idea to report it on the bug
tracker too. (So it will not be completely forgotten.)

  If you like you could do something in the mean time. Build
MPlayer with the patch applied. Afterwards if it all built fine,
do:

  rm libmpdemux/demux_gif.o
  make ibmpdemux/demux_gif.o

Then post the complete output of the second command here.
