Hi Christian, list,

I checked a fix for this problem into xiph.org cvs.  Only tested on OpenBSD/x86
(and regression tested on Linux/ppc), so you might want to test it on FreeBSD.

On OpenBSD 3.0, we still get bitten by the bug in libc_r where signals arriving
while a thread that doesn't handle them runs, don't get delivered to the thread
that _does_ handle them, either.  In short, update libc_r from cvs and
be happy.
Otherwise, you won't be able to pause (^Z), skip to next song (^C), or quit
(^C^C).  You can always stop ogg123 with a SIGQUIT (^\), of course.

Btw, why do the BSD ports remove -O from the Makefiles?  It's actually needed
(for libvorbis, at least).

Have fun,

<p>Segher
