Xine and real video recently broke

For what it's worth, I debugged that somewhat and it seems to be a
FreeBSD-7.x userland issue.
Using a 7.x kernel on the working 6.x machine doesn't break it.
Using the working 6.x /usr/local on the 7.x machine does not work
either.
So some dependency on /lib or /usr/lib things should be responsible.
Threading, malloc, that kind of thing. I'm digging more, but I want
to leave a trail in case anyone finds this in google.
