If that's consistent, it looks to me like xmms is spinning for some
reason.  Have you tried running it with various PTHREAD_DIAGASSERT
options?  It's possible that there's some assumption being made in
xmms that's valid on other systems, but not valid on NetBSD.  It's
hard to guess what might be going on, though, from just this.

For what it's worth, I think you're not alone.  I've not seen
problems with xmms, but I know that some other folks have.
