Well, the second crash seems to be related to sdl, which is
considered broken anyways. Dunno whether it's a bug
deeper in the vo layer or just sdl itself, dont have the file, can't
test and as Michael already said, also dont really care as i'm busy
with other things.
The third one is some kind of memory overwrite, ie the
bugreport itself is useless as it doesn't tell where
the problem lies. Noone is able to debug that w/o
the file and even then it's quite hard as you have
to set tons of conditional breakpoints to see what's
going on. Nothing i'd currently like to do.

If you want you can upload those two files, maybe
i try to debug them somewhen.... maybe i don't...
