hi. when playing mpeg-files, mplayer sometimes crashes when the file is done. it doesn't always happen, it doesn't happen for specific files, but on all files i tested it crashed after playing them several times. the gdb backtrace and disassembly follows: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) the attached log shows mplayer playing a file twice, crashing when the second run is finished. oh, and another thing the log shows is some garbage after 'uninit video:'. looks like a corrupted string or something. bye christian ohm -- air, n.: A nutritious substance supplied by a bountiful Providence for the fattening of the poor. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
