gdm runaway

Under FC2, when I run gmplayer, sometimes it reaches the end of a
video file and hangs. I can't kill the window with anything but xkill,
but there's no process still running that I can see with PS.

The really strange thing is that gdm-binary goes berserk at this
point, sucking up as much CPU as it can get.

When I strace gdm, I see:

select(10, [4 9], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [9])
geteuid32() = 0
getegid32() = 42
geteuid32() = 0
setresgid32(-1, 102, -1) = 0
setresuid32(-1, 604, -1) = 0
read(9, "Skiping to 02:06 (01:10)\r", 256) = 25
read(9, 0xfee96850, 256) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
geteuid32() = 604
setresuid32(-1, 0, -1) = 0
getegid32() = 102
setresgid32(-1, 42, -1) = 0

In an infinite loop. I grepped through everything I could find in ~,
/etc/X11, /tmp and /var/log and could not find the file that has that
string. I'm starting to think that that's it's FIFO, but if that's the
case, what's spewing to gdm's FIFO?

Anyone seen this?
