mencoder segfaults with -ass enabled

[mplayer-bugs@…]

Using the command

/usr/bin/mencoder file.mkv -slang en -ass -ass-font-scale 0.6 -ofps 24000/1001 -noskip -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -vf scale=1280:720,harddup -o /dev/null

produces a segmentation fault. Removing the -ass option avoids the segmentation fault, but I am unable to rescale the subtitles contained in the Matroska file.

The build is from rpm.livna.org, mencoder-1.0-0.81.rc2.lvn7.

i blame your binary packaged mencoder for crashing.
manually compiled mencoder will not seg fault with -ass

also, mencoder does not have -ass support yet, there is a patch on dev-eng.

also you are missing gdb output (but since you arent using svn this is unimportant)
