This issue is old and has been around for months even before RC-stage, and also could have been around always. When DVB-signal has errors, sometimes watching clip with DVB subtitles enabled causes MP to crash. If subtitles are turned off from configuration, clips play just fine.
I've seen this happen with following tuners: Technotrend C-1500, FireDTV DVB-C (both DVB-C tuners) and with Pinnacle PCTV 2000e (DVB-t) and on two different apartments. Happens with XP SP2 and Vista 32-bit. Even motherboard + display adapter has changed so there's no common things with HW or SW (I've frequently updated MP to newer SVN) which causes this. This makes me believe there's some part on subtitle decoding/error handling which doesn't do it's job well with bad input data.
I'm uploading two sample clips that can be used to reproduce the crash. They can be found at MP dump/dvb subtitles as yle2_subtitle_crash.ts + yle2_bad_reception_subs_crash.ts
