Ok, that's good news!

Will change that, but I rarely used exit so far ;)

http:/fett.ethz.ch/~spindler/MATRIX_de_ultra.mpg is an example and the
most simple sequence that caused it to crash is

start
stop
start
stop

If I send this for a long time I'll always get a segfault, though not at
the same time. Here's are the scripts  last output:

Got: start
Filter: -1
Starting play.
Started play.
warning: leaving MCOP Dispatcher and still 6570 types alive.
Got: stop
Filter: -1
Stopping play.
Stopped play.
Got: start
Filter: -1
Starting play.
Started play.
Segmentation fault

That's quite possible, I use a cvs version built at 2004/06/21. I'll grab t=
he latest
cvs and try with this.
