There is a signal delivery problem that can cause this, 
but it appears to be a race that is more likely to occur 
repeatably on slower machines, there is a work-around in 
one of my patches. These soft hangs can also be caused by 
timestamp discontinuities that occur on some DVD's, there's
been some discussion and proposed patches in the X-Men 
thread a couple of weeks ago.

My patches are at <ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/users/haworth>
and Bill Fink has packaged them into a srpm at
<ftp://ftp.linuxppc.org/contrib/sources/Applications/X11/xine-0.4.01.2b1.src.rpm>
