Yes, of course, I always prepare the releases, but I was not preparing
something real soon. Perhaps I can after I explore something related
to seek and sync.

OK, the crashing is fixed in mlt git commit 7d076b. However, I should
add that something went wrong with the way the XML is being generated.
In the case of this transition causing the crash, the transition name
has a bunch of tabs after it. I can look at ignoring white space when
parsing, but it may need to be context sensitive and requires further
analysis.
