realplayer troubles

Realplayer (the version coming with SuSE) is hanging when I run it. I tried rming .Real* in order to reset it, but every time I start it when it's time to play a sound it hangs until I kill -9 it. It seems to do this both for network streams and for the local welcome sound file. I've been running RealPlayer for a while without any problems, I'm not sure what happened to make it have this bug. -- Weiner's Law of Libraries: There are no answers, only cross references.
