I did investigate this today:
* windows HandBrakeCLI does not show the problem
* prebuilt ubuntu HandBrakeCLI does not show the problem
* packman HandBrakeCLI shows the problem

=> investigate the binaries, find that libav is configured differently.
=> our version does not have "-DNDEBUG", windows and ubuntu has
=> find out, that "--debug=max" configure option removes -DNDEBUG
=> change this to "--debug=std", so -DNDEBUG is added and asserts are
   noops.
=> fix fallout from this with "no-return-in-nonvoid-function.patch"
=> submit to Multimedia

Now (as soon as it is built), Multimedia will have handbrake-0.10.0,
which does no longer suffer from this bug.
handbrake-unstable is still at 0.9.9.xxx and is now *older than the
stable version* and still borken.

Once I see interesting changes in svn, I might update
handbrake-unstable, but I might also totally lose interest :-)

Best regards, and have a lot of fun...
