1) I'm an end user of an RPM site for a Linux Distro.  The choices made
for compilation were not mine to make.  I just want my MPLAYER to work :)

2) I d/l the 2006-12-04 SVN and tweaked the CFLAGS to contain -fstack-protector
and indeed it is now fixed. Thanks.

3) Why the delay in promoting the fix into a release if it has been fixed since
quite some time?  No need to answer.  I've conveyed the information to the
RPM provider and am dropping out of the loop.  I'll run my local copy of mplayer
until a fix perculates out officially.

Rgds,
