My fault, I'm using SVN 19162, a athlon-xp gentoo box with gcc 4.1.1, and I 
also tried with a pentium-D box with standard fc4 installation, this apply to 
the other two bug reports ([BUG] a realmedia video crashes MPlayer, [BUG] 
mpeg file cannot be decoded by libmpeg), and the links of the files, please 
remove the ':' (
ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/broken_image.avi
ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/freeze_at_40s.rm
ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/not_playable_with_libmpeg.mpg)

I forget to mention that Media Player Classic works too, I've not tried xine 
yet. If only WMP can handle it, maybe it's the file's fault, but since there 
are at lease two player can play the file while MPlayer cannot, there must be 
something could improve.
