Wouldn't surprise me.  Vendor-made MPlayer binary packages are 
notoriously bad for one's health anyway, and I don't think anyone here 
recommends actually using them.

For what it's worth, GCC 3.3 with heavy optimisations has given me 
segfaults with some packages (MPlayer not being one of them; I already 
upgraded, thank you very much).  Version 3.3.1 hasn't given me any such 
trouble yet; I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
