Issues with activating deinterlacing on mpeg4 material

http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=29913#29913

Trax has reported similar issues.... Start stream (mpeg4/xvid), turn on ext gui, turn on video filter -> crash. According to gibalou has something to do with decoder restarting; ffmpeg bug.

I get

[mpeg4 @ 0x8507614]hmm, seems the headers are not complete, trying to guess time_increment_bits [mpeg4 @ 0x8507614]my guess is 1 bits ;)

right before the crash

Here is the backtrace I get in gdb

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

it seems ffmpeg is the one crashing here...
