i created a "MPsub" file, but it didnt merge with the mpeg file

	( note .. i called the "input text file" MPsub.txt )

	mplayer -sub MPsub.txt baby.mpeg
		( it crashed )

	MPsub.txt came from the DOCS of mplayer i section 1.4.1
	file:/usr/local/src/MPlayer-1.0pre3/DOCS/HTML/en/subosd.html

i'll hang on for the next release ... before submitting a bug report
	current setup ... 
	- slackware-9.10.0
	- linux-2.4.23-ow1 ( openwall patch )
	- K6-450 w/ 256MB of mem

thanx
