Well, I think Michael said that the patched looked ok, so I committed it 
without thinking about other alternatives. Anyway, similar code in 
ffmpeg.c uses exit(1) (look at few lines after the one changed by my 
patch); adding assert() will introduced yet another (inconsistent) 
different way to handle errors...

But if people want it, I am fine with assert too... Unfortunately I am 
in hurry right now, so I'll not be able to change this commit before 
tomorrow morning.

I do not remember all the details, but I think this was triggered by a 
broken stream... So exiting the program seems the best thing to do.
The problem with previous code was that ffmpeg.c called 
sws_freeContext() even if no sws context had been initialized.
