it hangs with or without -L, but importing a specific vob file *does*
make it function properly, with or without -L

then I tried that other file mentioned in my first post-- the_lover ...
 it hung.  tried it with the first .vob-- hung again.

what changed?  I haven't changed or moved the input files, and I am
using the same (cvs) transcode binaries as in my first post.  Then I
removed the old .ppm output files.  the_lover then processes ok,
sometimes...

back to mulholland_drive...  hmmm the more I play with it the weirder it
gets...

It seems that it is interacting with the output directory.  Just
removing the output .ppm's isn't enough.  It is when I completely empty
the directory that it sometimes works better.  But sometimes it works ok
with non-empty output directory and can overwrite old .ppm files.  It
seems this depends on the value of -L, and omitting -L doesn't always
make it work either.  Sometimes even with empty output directory it
hangs with some L values.

Are some values of L valid and others not?  I started off with some
values from dvdrip's invocation of transcode but they have gotten
changed along the way.  Still, bad L value (if there is such a thing)
shouldn't hang it, should it?  Answer that question and I'll try to run
through it all again from the top.  (this last session has made my head
spin  :)

Further notes..  this all worked ok for me in the distant past... 0.6.x.
 Not sure if this problem started with 1.0.x or when I upgraded to
glibc-2.4, gcc-4.1.1 and nptl

Cheers...
