thanks for the help explanation, a lot of neat information has been
added since 0.7.16.
I switched codecs but it doesn't help. I'm still segfaulting.
While aviplay is getting confused and complaining about an
incorrect dwLength, that doesn't seem to be the fatal error.
According to gdb I am dying at line 200 in aviplay2.cpp. roughly
         char * fs;
    Get(SUBTITLE_FONT, &fs, 0);
         renderer->SetFont(sub ? fs : 0);   <<line 200
I'm not sure if I can trust this, because for some odd reason the debugger 
seems to get confused about local variables and won't let me see the value 
of fs -- maybe time for printf debugging.  I'm suspecting that the crash 
might be because I had no defaults set in the ~/.avm/default file. it was just
   [ aviplay ]
        theme default
        url .
However I tried adding
   subtitle_font -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-160-100-100-p-*-iso8859-*
and puting it in a ~/.avm/aviplay file, but that didn't help.
