Subtitles cause segfault

Hey all, I'm somewhat of a Linux newbie, so forgive me if I've overlooked
something fairly obvious.
I got videolan built and running fine, everything seems to work except
subtitles. I can switch to a different audio track without a probelem, but
when I turn on subtitles vlc segfaults within a minute. Somtimes it happens
right a way, sometimes it takes a minute or so. during that time, people
may speak but no subtitles are displayed. Also, it doesn't necessarily
crash when its supposed to display subtitles; it will crash at a point with
no subtitles, only having them turned on is required.
Also, this penomenon occurs whether I load the dvd and options from the gui
or from the command line, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Vlc is quite stable otherwise, I can run it for 2 hours (i.e a whole movie)
without a problem if there's no subtitles.
Pertinent system info:
Athalon 1000
Nvidia TNT2 Ultra
160megs ram
Slackware 8.0
kernel 2.2.19
XF86 4.1.0
latest kernel and glx drivers from nvidia
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you,
Chris
