I've been trying to run Realplayer7, which I've attempted to install
via the package system (pkgsrc/audio/realplayer7), and have run into a
"bad system call" and a core dump every time it begins to attempt to
play a realaudio file.

I'm running NetBSD 1.4.2 (could that be the problem?) and am running a
kernel compiled with COMPAT_LINUX defined.

I've tried running gdb on the core file, but I don't really know what
I'm doing. Maybe this stuff will mean something to you:

Thanks for any help or information.
