[MPlayer-users] mplayer still screwed up on DEC/Alpha

[Andrew A. Gill]

So I followed the bug reporting procedure and no one seemed to
care:

<http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2004-February/043229.html>

All the gdb logs can be found at the link above.

Then I reported the bug again, a little more obnoxiously, and I
got a little help:

<http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2004-March/043320.html>

And then no one helped anymore.  So now I'm gonna keep bugging
you.

mplayer crashes when playing a Quicktime file on the line:

	trak->chunks=realloc(trak->chunks,sizeof(mov_chunk_t)*len);

it also crashes if you simplify the line to:

	trak->chunks=malloc(sizeof(mov_chunk_t)*len);

or

	trak->chunks=malloc(8832);

sigh.

For the record, here are the %d values reported by fprintf:

	track->chunks = 0
	sizeof(mov_chunk_t) = 24
	len =  56
	trak = 543011824
	*trak = 2

For the record, trak->chunks has three elements, two unsigned
ints and one off_t.

Note that off_t is defined to be the same as long, and on DEC
Alpha, long is defined to be 64 bits, whereas long is 32 bits on
i386.  I did try making it with

Also note that if I compile ffmpeg, ffplay plays the video, but
not the audio.  So there doesn't seem to be a problem with
libavcodec.
