185.18.14 + MPlayer = DoS ALL SYSTEM

[pavlinux]

After installing driver 185.18.14, i'm have played mp4 video.
When i run mplayer, and after 2 minutes of play all system slowed,
not response keys, mouse events and very, very, very slow start of applications, etc.

Are you sure this isn't mplayer problem?
If you try to play a broken file, mplayer can eat up your cpu.

Does this only happen with 185.18.14; i.e. are you sure you don't see the problem with other drivers installed? What MPlayer command-line and configuration are you using? Please post a bug report file, and details regarding which file you're playing (i.e. upload a sample to the file drop mentioned in the VDPAU sticky post)

Same bug here. Only 185.18.14. This post seems to be related: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=133610.

Same problem here. Massive (system) memory leak in mplayer (in 1/2h consumed 3Gigs), made system unusable. Reverted back to 185.18.10

I can confirm this. Reverting to 185.18.10 fixes the problem.
The vo of mplayer does not matter for me here.

Comment #4 referenced another thread. In that thread, someone said PCI MSI interrupts might be the cause of the problem. If you disable this (I assume in the BIOS; I don't know), are your problems solved?
