I booted to Linux (Ubuntu) and compiled the latest FFMPEG SVN. I ran the 
same command and after 1 or more push of the left/right arrows I got the 
same crash.

I tried to run gdb on ffplay_g but didn't get any meaningful 
information, nothing (NULL) in the backtrace only a line in mpegvideo.c 
is mentioned.
