Guess I replied to the msg when viewing your portion of the thread
instead of Jim's.  But what I said still stands.

I have Etch here with iceweasel, beonex and firefox. Totem usually works, except for the above, but in FF it freezes up often when i attempt to play several videos (one after the other).

What I forgot to mention was the distro: Ubuntu 7.04.  Dealing with
libc issues is a rather sticky and risky undertaking.  I do recall
reading about people having outlined the process they followed in
updating from one version of libc to another, on other Linux mail
lists, but I myself have never attempted it.
