I do not have the right fix, but the cause of the problem is
that in loader/win32.c at line 2077:
2076 if (v1 > 2)
2077 if (!close(v1a))
close is called with a ridiciously large value. In previous
FreeBSD releases this appearently did not cause a fatal problem,
but since a week or so mplayer aborts on it.
A stupid, but effective workaround is not to call close if v1
is too large, f.i.:
2072 static int WINAPI expCloseHandle(long v1)
2073 {
2074 dbgprintf("CloseHandle(0x%x) => 1\n", v1);
2075 /* do not close stdin,stdout and stderr */
2076 if (v1 > 2 && v1 < 128)
2077 if (!close(v1))
2078 return 0;
2079 return 1;
2080 }
Of course for the real fix one needs to delve deeper into mplayer
to find out where the large valued filedescriptor comes from.
