Cant reproduce it. Try current cvs, if it still does not work, try to find out
which change broke it, by using the -D switch of cvs:
cvs checkout -D "<date string>" main

Limit the used videoram amount of your X server (isnt that in the  faq ?)

Provide -v output. (but sounds more like a driver bug, than a bug in mplayer)

Try to find out what causes this (ie quitting mplayer before the end of the movie,
aborting it by pressing ^C, certain divx etc), then send a bugreport.

This iirc because mplayer get's the same error code from the kernel.

Cant reproduce, please describe it a bit more in detail and also add a -v output.
