Hi, I'm one of "the other people on the Myth mailing lists" that also has this problem ;-)
I have managed to narrow it down to changes done from version k to version l. Version 0.3.2k is working fine, tried a large number of skips forward/backward without a single freeze. version 0.3.2l does freeze maybe 3 or 4 out of ten skips, which seems less than version 0.3.2m/n/o/p, but not quite sure about that... I'm also prepared to try any patch you throw at me ;-) Hope this helps... Regards, Stanley.
