* Redhat 7.3 used gcc 2.96-RH (Redhat's "special" version, which the
mplayer developers seem to think was spawned by the devil himself :) ).

* Redhat 8.0 uses gcc 3.2- same as your Gentoo.

I didn't mention it before, but I observed the same problem using Ogle and
Xine.

By the way, even with the broken X, you can still play DVDs using
the straight X11 driver (mplayer -vo x11 dvd://).  It worked fine (albeit
slowly). You probably only get the doubling problem using the xv or SDL
drivers.
