Thanks guys for the ideas...

You are most correct.... when trying to start xmms it gives an 'invalid 
pointer' and says it is the 'free()' command if I remember...

If needed I will check it later when I am working on that machine...

Come to think of it... I think I did an upgrade on FLAC... I'll check my 
log...

once again... thanks!
