I've never been able to get the newer RealPlayer 7 binary (the 6.7MB one now
downloadable from real.com, used by the realplayer-7nb3 package) to talk to
the network correctly.  The earlier binary (the 8.1MB one I originally
submitted the realplayer 7 package with, and also used in 7nb1) works fine
(with NetBSD 1.4T and 1.4V), but it doesn't seem to be any longer available
from real.com.  I haven't had time to try to see where the newer binary is
locking up.
