 I've bumped the severity to critical and priority to high for this bug.
 
 Just playing an mpeg file with mplayer is sufficient to tickle the 
 crash. It's got to be some kind of race condition, as it may take a few 
 attempts before crashing.
 
 As this affects the netbsd-5 branch, I'd say this should be a 
 show-stopper for 5.0. (releng@ BCC'd)
