X crash are due to X drivers bugs. Could you try with the current release of xserver-xfree86 ? Also can you tell which graphic card you have , maybe the bug is already report on xserver-xfree86. avifile use Xv (Xserver video extension) , which is not yet supported by old cards (ex. my s3 virge does not). BUt a lot of fixes for bugs with those where applied a few monthes ago (thanks Alan Cox !) Also you can check that your card support Xv yourself , using : $ xdpyinfo |grep XVideo in an X terminal (xterm, konsole,...). If nothing is outputed it does not and there is a bug in avifile-player too, as it should check if it is supported before using it. (even though X ought not to crash anyway). You could also check the newest avifile-player Please test those before reporting the bug to xserver-xfree86, their list of bug is overcrowded (though its dropping fastly). Adding those information would fastened the bug process a lot. If you do not have this video file anymore, maybe you could download the one from : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274730 it crash avifile here (but not Xfree, i got an Xv error. I guess my driver xvideo support is stable). For example i did not have crash with applications using xv on radeon, nvidia and s3 , but had on a trident (it was around your test time, i also have to recheck with current release).
