[PD] "New movie might crash... ...survived"

[chris clepper]

Can you post all of the messages printed when you load a film?  I also
ran into this problem with Quicktime files on Windows, and came up
with a 'fix' that stops the crashing by introducing a memory leak. 
The fact that this happens with AVI indicates the problem might lie
outside of the Quicktime code.
