[imv] [mpv] [system crash] crashe the OS on certain images and videos

Greetings, list.

I would like to report a bug with the imv port.
I started getting this problem like 1-2 months ago.

The problem is that I view a buunch of images on the internet, for example, and
randomly my computer crashes - it just freezes.... it starts slowing down very
fast, and I did not have time to execute `pkill -9 imv` yet.

I think that a similar thing started happening like 2-4 months ago with mpv
--vo=gpu option - everything froze except audio, which continued on playing.
Using the --vo=xv option everything works perfectly fine, except changing
contrast and what-not.

By the way, imv started acting very strange lately I think - I use the dwm
window manager, and imv for some reason always starts in a floating mode, even
though it is specified to not do so in the dwm config file.

What is up with that? IDK but none of imv's options changed that.
I am for sure that it was a JPG file.

This sucks because you have to for example press alt+shift+space every time you
want to set the window the default that every other program is at.


The computer is an old Thinkpad, OpenBSD 7.6 -current.

I will not share a dmesg.
