apart from the rtorrent/mmap issue, i can't remember openbsd being ever rebooted by a user space process... the whole mplayer issue is fishy. it has worked for years without any problems. i think that the kern.shminfo.shmall=32768 is just delaying/hiding the issues here. during my multiple tries at playing that movie, there is one new scenario: the whole xsession stops, and xdm comes up again, exactly as if pressing ctrl+alt+backspace -- killing the X process. i am still guessing this must be a hw issue... but none of the other eeepc owners report anything like this. (although it took over a year for the others to confirm that the usb emulated sd card reader cannot write to the card actually, so it's not good metrics).. i saw some commits to the intel driver so i'll try a more recent snapshot again soon.. i will also try ktrace and an mplayer svn build asap, but since i have the sysctl setting, this was the first movie that misbehaved so it's not easy to reproduce. -f -- i thank my lucky stars i'm not superstitious.
