Welp, im unable to view *.wmv here, and i get weird "crashes" when the
some videos end.  Happens seemingly randomly I dont know why.  Part of
the error is this: 

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: uninit_vo
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
...
<edited for brevity> 
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version.

I doubt our users will be willing to blame this on us, but this is
really the fault of us using a bugfix release.  So far, no major
complaints, just spurious problems and proprietary codecs not working. 
What can we do to alleviate this situation for our users?

The superfluous is very necessary.
