Hi there,
	I plugged the following sample into the top of my local
codecs.conf file:

videocodec random
  info "Random Codec"
  status buggy
  fourcc RNDM
  driver random
  out BGR32

And this is what happens:

MPlayer CVS-011215-17:22-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2001 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)

CPU vendor name: AuthenticAMD  max cpuid level: 1
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices K6-2 (Type: 5, Stepping: 12)
extended cpuid-level: 5
CPUflags: Type: 5 MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Reading /home/melanson/.mplayer/codecs.conf: parse error at line 13
Segmentation fault

Line 13 is the "driver random" line. True, it does report a parse error,
but then it crashes with an honest-to-goodness segfault. It would be nice
if, after encountering a parse error, the program continued parsing with
the same stubborn attitude that the MPlayer team has become famous for
when dealing with new users...:)
