[Ffmpeg-devel] core dump when displaying ffmpeg help

[Xavier Rodriguez INEXBEE]

Hi,

When displaying the help options of ffmpeg I have a core dump on my 
Solaris 8 HW 12/02 s28s_hw1wos_06a SPARC / gcc (GCC) 3.3.2.:

./ffmpeg
...
AVCodecContext AVOptions:
-bit_rate          E.VA.Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

I resolved it by using this _VERY_UGLY_ patch:

bash-2.03$ diff -u libavcodec/utils.original libavcodec/utils.c
