  printf "eax=%08lX\n",$eax<BR>
  printf "ebx=%08lX\n",$ebx<BR>
  printf "ecx=%08lX\n",$ecx<BR>
  printf "edx=%08lX\n",$edx<BR>
  printf "esp=%08lX\n",$esp<BR>
  printf "ebp=%08lX\n",$ebp<BR>
  printf "edi=%08lX\n",$edi<BR>
  printf "esi=%08lX\n",$esi</CODE></P>

<P>Then simply execute the following on your command line:</P>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<CODE>gdb mplayer --core=core -batch --command=command_file &gt; mplayer.bug</CODE></P>

and reproduce your crash. As soon as you did it, gdb will
return you to the command line prompt where you have to enter
