Okay.
Here is the link:
https://supportuploads.sun.com/download?directory=europe-cores/uk/downloads&file=542508%2etar%2ebz2

or alternatively go to 
https://supportfiles.sun.com/download
Name of the file to download is 542508.tar.bz2
Directory name: europe-cores/uk/downloads

When you download the file it's checksum is 812402251:
$ cksum 542508.tar.bz2 
812402251 105961071 542508.tar.bz2

Step to reproduce the bug:
1) unpack the file:
$ tar -xjvf 542508.tar.bz2

2) Compile it
$ cd 542508/

There is canplay.in file from which the ./convert.pl Perl script builds
canplay.c C file with correct directories. All you need is to run make:
$ make

3) From now you can play with it either by running it in one of three modes:
$ ./canplay --help

Functional test:
$ ./canplay -f

Stress test:
$ ./canplay -s 100

or debugging it with gdb

The SegFault is alway reproduced during stress test.

There is one more interesting thing. You'll find this line commented in the
canplay.in:
//"file://${WORK_DIR}/media/ducks16x9.960x540at1000kbpsVBR.wmv"
When you build your own copy of canplay.c try to run this line:
$ ./canplay file://${WORK_DIR}/media/ducks16x9.960x540at1000kbpsVBR.wmv
Where ${WORK_DIR} is a concrete working directory. You'll find out that playbin
hangs on this file. Maybe it's another bug ?!

If you have any questions please ask.
