Patrick -- can you please re-assign this back to security@gentoo.org once
you've got things patched?  Otherwise, we risk losing track of it.

Thanks.

AMD64, PPC: please test mplayer-1.0_pre3-r5 and mark stable

ignore my previous testing request.  I didn't properly understand how Patrick
patched things.

GLSA forthcoming.
