Bug Description
Running aviplayer under dapper on a toshiba satellite 2550cdt (~200MHz ~200MB 800x600) gives an apparent off by one error which manifests as a vertical line of not quite randomly changing coloured pixels down the right hand margin.
This happens whether the window is maximised or not.
Putting another window over the active video window results in the anomalous vertical line appearing at the left edge over the overlaying window.
This does not happen on other computers running dapper here.
I would flag this as a security vulnerability because I don't know that this doesn't result in memory corruption at the left hand edge and because I don't know where the data which is filling the rightmost column is coming from however the package is from "universe" and I understand that such a flag would be ignored.
I'm more than happy to poke about for more information, but you'll need to tell me where.
