http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=2000

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libass-0.9.12-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start playing movie with SSA/ASS turned on.  Mplayer will crash when subtitle should first play on screen.

You'll have to forgive me.  I'm new at this.  How do I download the package for testing?

No need to apologize, I was just advising you ;-)

As for the download, you can either grab it from koji, or wait till it gets pushed to updates-testing. IIRC this bug will get updated by then and will contain info how to test the update.

Thanks.  I finally found it here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=273766

It would be nice if those two were easily linked somehow.

Anyway, installed from koji. Tests ok and resolves bugs.
