Please follow the bug reporting guidelines at
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html - particularly the
part about "what to report in the event of a crash". We almost never
need an strace (I don't think I remember a single occasion in the years
I've been around), and most of us don't particularly want 230K+ files
coming through the list without warning. (For some list members (and
even, I think, a few developers), who don't have true broadband, it may
even be problematic to have such things come through at *all*.)
