BUGS
       Don’t  panic.   If you find one, report it to us, but please make
       sure you have read all of the documentation first.  Also look out
       for smileys. :)
...

Also, if it were a real core dump, mplayer wouldn't be able to print
anything after that.

Regards,
R.

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
