Thanks. I have installed fluidsynth, and now my MIDI files play fine
through vlc. The version of timidity that's crashing for me is
2.14.0-8.2ubuntu1.
This solves my problem, and if it didn't, I could probably figure out
how to install the working version of timidity on my (Linux mint)
system.
But does anyone have a good thing to tell the mac user? It's possible
he's also using timidity. But I don't know enough about how to do MacOS
support to even figure out how to find out what he's using when he
clicks on a MIDI file in his browser and it doesn't play.

When I die and there's a memorial service, I want you to go to the
piano and play _The Man I Love_ in my key. If I don't come out on that
stage, then you'll know I'm gone.

in fact play _The Man I Love._)
