the crash seems to be related with conversion/handling UTF-8 strings. does this also happen if you choose a plain 'C' locale instead of pt_PT.UTF-8?
you can do so by typing 'export LANG=C' in a shell. in the same shell, please retry with mplayer. ** Visibility changed to: Public ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- mplayer crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
