Public bug reported:
On a fresh install of Lubuntu 12.04 Beta on a HP Compaq Evo N610c,
mplayer crashes with an illegal instruction. It can be reproduced with
the command line mplayer or GNOME MPlayer (GNOME MPlayer itself does not
crash, but goes to "Stopped" state). The reason for the crash is that a
fisttpll instruction, a PNI (Prescott New Instructions), which requires
SSE3, is executed, but my CPU (Pentium 4 Mobile) does not support SSE3
(it CPU flags are fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov
pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe up pebs bts
cid xtpr). Maybe this bug is related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer2/+bug/858226, see
there how to set the compiler flags to avoid issueing SSE2 instructions.
Here are two GDB sessions which show the problem, the video file does
not matter, it happens with all videos I tested.
