Please report more informations: MPlayer version, output, etc... read
the HTML doc about bug reporting to get some more.

I've tried to play the file you give a link to, and here's what I get
(MPlayer CVS):

Which means that MPlayer doesn't crash, but fails. Do you get the same
error? If you don't, please use CVS version.
