it happens with *any* video and *any* external subtitles (srt,sub,etc). but, I attach an example. it's a mov video with standard iso-8859-1 subtitles. it has only 3 minutes, so in totem use shift+arrow keys in order not to seek to far. seek forward and/or backwards many times, after few seconds gui will freeze.
