Another annoying dvd playback bug

Hi,
I guess it might be related to the bug labeled "Threading issue" here 
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/bugs/2006-07/msg00151.html. But 
this concerns (g)mplayer. I seem to be getting this error _very_ often 
when trying to play dvds:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
 Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
 disassembly. Details in 
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
 It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
 gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
 DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We 
can't and
 won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a 
possible bug.

I should mention that while gmplayer is spitting various errors at me 
the CPU usage of gmplayer is nearly 100% thus similar symptoms as 
xine/gxine/growisofs, but maybe not the same problem. I recompiled 
gmplayer with --enable-debug but no idea what to do now, i never used gdb.

This is getting very frustrating because gmplayer, xine, gxine dont work 
as they should, i cant watch my dvds. Beep-media-player which i use for 
audio playback doesnt work well either (100% usage on exiting the 
program, while the process itself doesnt exit and has to be killed 
manually with -9)

I really want my desktop to be somewhat "usable".
