The story continues... I installed my package on another Panther
system, it worked, once, and the system became contaminated. It
doesn't help to remove and reinstall the package. I think there must
be some 'memory' in the operating system itself.

Could it have something to do with altivec? On the first (successful)
run, I get a warning about not having altivec support. No changes are
made inside the installed application bundle, however. Does MPlayer
OSX keep some settings somewhere else?
