Hi! I've had some issues with mplayer and FreeBSD for some time now. Usually my FreeBSD-box is quite stable, no problem building world, kernels and various big port. And no issues in daily use. Except for mplayer, which will bring FreeBSD to crash the hard way. I had this problem with an old 4.4-setup running XFree 4.1.x. I have now made a fresh 4.5 install which is upgraded to -STABLE and installed 4.2, KDE 2.2.2 etc.. All went fine and is running smoothly. Ogle, xine etc. runs "fine" aswell. I've even tested the RAM with memtest86, swapping and taking RAM out, no errors. So I just had to test whether the "mplayer bug" had gone away... it hasn't. I'm no hacker but I've tried following the steps in <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#AEN4707>; and all I get is this: root:/sys/compile/FRODOKERNEL# gdb -k GNU gdb 4.18 Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

() (kgdb) where #0 0x0 in ?? () Now, my question is how get more information out of the *.core-files and what do I include into a bugreport (just the above + dmesg)?
