While we're at it, I noticed (before I upgraded) that GCC 3.3, while
compiling programs without crashing, tended to cause hard-to-predict
segmentation faults when using heavy optimisation.  I don't know any
examples of such problems with MPlayer in particular, though; once I
figured out the cause, I checked for updates immediately!  And so far,
3.3.1 seems to be pretty reliable-- cross fingers.
