Wondering if anyone else has witnessed this: when playing video with mplayer or gmplayer, skipping forward or backward, either by using the arrow keys (mplayer, gmplayer) or by clicking in the progress slider (gmplayer), will eventually lead to a lock-up of my laptop, and a reboot 10-15 seconds later.
I can usually get away with skipping a few times, but there's an inevitable 'one time too many'. It even happens when playing video with gimv (which uses mplayer 'internally', I believe. When playing video using the USB system (stick, drive), a single skip is enough: boom.
I have installed VLC again to test, but that doesn't give me any grief when using 'Ctl ->' or 'Ctl <-'.
Has anyone else seen similar behaviour? If not, I'll have to delve into the vmcores in /var/crash, I guess.
