I'm not sure what's causing it to just die in the middle, as I've been
having that problem as well and couldn't track down the issue.  However,
there is a problem with the seek code in that it does properly handle text
frames in the video stream.  This happens in the libdemux code.  On mine I
quickly fixed it so it would work, by adding the following after the "else
if ( rgjpeg....frametype == 'A')" block of the demux_seek_nuv function:

    else if ( rtjpeg_frameheader.frametype == 'T' )
    {
        curr_pos = stream_tell ( demuxer->stream );
        stream_seek ( demuxer->stream, curr_pos +
rtjpeg_frameheader.packetlength );
    }

Probably should just move the code that seeks outside the if statements
since it applies to all frametypes (well, except for one that I know of that
doesn't occur while playing the video).  Also the mplayer seek code could
use an update to make use of the seek table, as any slightly long seek
currently requires going through a lot of the video (also sucks to seek at
all over any slowish type connection like wireless).
