Hmmm, I just found something interesting. In 2.6.21.3 the /sbin/init
gets corrupted when I watch the video!
$ cp /sbin/init init.before
$ mplayer kiwi.flv
$ cp /sbin/init init.after
The sha1sums are here:
52c8d643057619cbe137b8e69d4709ce3bdd832d init.after
8efc7864a5b535a9e336fa82e9d7f112f3d956c1 init.before
It seems that something corrupts memory somewhere...
To debug this a bit further:
$ od -a -t x1 -v init.after > init.after.dump
$ od -a -t x1 -v init.before > init.before.dump
$ diff -u init.before.dump init.after.dump | less

The file at offset 0010000 - 0011348 is overwritten with the byte
pattern 79 06 00 00.
Do you see anything in the logs or is this a silent corruption? Did
you see this corruption with 2.6.19 or 2.6.22-rc3?
