It does, thanks for the research. Actually, the 10.1r53 was the most
"stable" working horse of crashplayer before we switched to 11.1.
Of course, that version is also "vulnerable", as far as this has
any practical relevance on non-Windows systems...

That it works tells me that my initial suspection about the threading
stuff introduced in the 11.x series may be the source of the problem,
see my earlier post here:

Not to speak of the png12 <--> png14 mixture...
