I must say I don't know. All I can say is that here on Tiger/PPC G5,
MPlayerOSX doesn't run anymore. I have no idea how come this happened,
but since there's nothing printed on the screen, and not crash box,
it's kinda dificult to figure out what happened.

Nicolas, does this seem familar? Do you have an idea?
