Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Youtube-dl crashes if I attempt to download a video (see link to video above) choosing particular audio and video formats. Each of the above formats (-f 135 and -f 140) work on their own, it only crashes when I try to download and combine them. This used to work. They also crash on their own with -v. ie ...
