Okay, the patch as of yesterday's CVS, is working great. No crashing.
But still jittering on OSD.

It seems that it will jitter when it's first shown, then stabilise
after 3 seconds or so, then after about 10 seconds start jittering
again. That could be something on my machine, but XvMC in 0.16 was
perfectly solid, and the only way you could tell you were using XvMC
was that the OSD was black and white.

What's been changed since 0.16 wrt OSD code?
