FreeBSD 4.10 system stops responding

[Igor Serikov]

   Hello, World!

Opening a remote HTTP URL in raplayer (old a.out program) makes my 
FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE box completely frozen. The system does not respond 
on PINGs. The same happens when I run raplayer in a remote X session. It 
looks like the trouble happens in the beginning of the prebuffering, 
before start of the playback. What is quite interesting is that when I 
entered "tuss raplayer >& /dev/console" the system did not get frozen. 
Can this be something timing/buffering related? Is there any way to 
investigate the problem without using NMI?

   Igor.
