Hi Andrei,

There are indeed two problems being reported on xine-devel, both are 
related to libmpeg2 but they are not the same.

- deadlock problem is when 2 threads (video decoder and video out) 
suspend each other execution waiting for something itself must provide. 
this seems to be caused by a severe frame buffer leakage that i could 
not reproduce here.

- the segfault problem must be completely unrelated. maybe it's time to 
apply that motion vector boundaries patch or close decoder on 
discontinuities...


regards,

Miguel
