Yeah,

i would second that - got xine-lib beta4 too and also get these floating point 
exceptions in the middle of some divx'es (and always at the same places, not 
randomly) - it realy sucks: I watch a divx then xine crashes, then i load up 
mplayer, skip to that scene, watch it, startup xine again, skip past that 
scene, continue to watch my film. Would be very cool if somebody could fix 
it.
