Could > you help us troubleshoot this? BTW, I used portmanager to upgrade my por= ts. I don't know if I can be much help, as I haven't used xine or vlc, or portmanager. What I would do in your case is run 'ktrace -i -d vlc' (along with whatever other arguments) to trace the process and its dependencies, and then run 'kdump' to view the trace (the output will be enormous). You might see something interesting near the end, like a file not found that it was expecting, or it opening a file just prior to dumping core. It may be possible the other programs would have the same last few lines. This is generic advice, I'm afraid, and may not even be valid in this case. But who knows.
