Here's the fix.  Not a diff patch right now, sorry, but will probably 
submit one soon.

In libmpdemux/demux_mkv.c, on line 2586, change that "if" to "while".

Also, I found it beneficial to increase the define for SUB_MAX_TEXT
(subreader.h, line 32) from 10 to something larger, such as 14. Some 
subtitle scripts attempt to place more than 10 lines on the
screen at a time (such as during the credits), and when that happens 
none of them would be displayed because exceeding SUB_MAX_TEXT will 
force the whole portion to be considered invalid.
