Try compiling Mplayer without optimization and with debug info
(use something like CFLAGS="-O0 -g" ./configure; make except
that I'm not sure how easy it's to compile mplayer with custom flags).
The crash may likely go away when not using optimization... in
that case compile with normal optimization but still with debug
info (CFLAGS="-O3 -g").

Then load mencoder with gdb:
# gdb mencoder

If you're able to do this, it'll help greatly debugging.

Btw, recently mplayer has given me too also often segfaults. Seems to be
related to Xvideo (with -vo x11 seems to go away). Strange, I should
investigate more I guess (1.0preXX).
