Ouch, I get that too. I even get problems when just downloading the file with

  gst-launch mmssrc uri=mms://... ! filesink location=foo

(although only at the end).

Valgrind has this to say (this is with libmms debugging output enabled):

There is a patch for this here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1521441&group_id=101989&atid=630609

But libmms is effectively unmaintained, so you need to push your distro to
include this fix.
