I couldn't find any description of this problem in docs, FAQ, known bugs,
or a search of list archives.

OK, thanks. The ffmjpeg codec worked.  But the fact that the Morgan Motion
codec (m3jpeg32.dll) worked when MPlayer was compiled -g, but didn't when
compiled normally suggests a problem with GCC-3.1.  Will try again when
3.2 is released.

OK.  Personally, I haven't yet run into a codec that works for some files
but not for others.  They have either always worked or always crashed.

I appreciate your useful and prompt reply, not to mention MPlayer itself.
