 Greetings,
 opening any file with MediaPlayer (either from the Tracker or the
 application's File menu) results in an error window: "file could not be
 opened -- General system error". Not sure if it's related, but stdout
 shows " Controller::SetTo: InitCheck failed". (Interestingly, when opening
 a file from the Tracker, the error message shows up before any MediaPlayer
 window gets drawn.)

 I'm running the latest hrev28210 gcc2 hybrid on bare metal; everything was
 running smoothly yesterday but now it's inexplicably broken (I've run a
 pkgman update, but haven't seen any new MediaKit stuff in the list). I
 have deleted my home/config/settings but to no avail. It looks similar to
 #8695, but does affect *every* media file (audio or video, local or on
 external mountpoints).
