[ILUG] the bells are getting louder...

[John P. Looney]

 This is the freakiest thing I've seen in a while.

 While browsing the most excellent www.cavebear.com site, I came across a
link to an MP3. Clicked on it, out of curiousity.

 Galeon started up mpg123 for me. Cute. However. How do you stop it.
mpg123 doesn't have a GUI, so I can't tell it to stop (by default, it
loops).

 So, I nipped over to a trusty terminal, and did "killall mpg123". It
died. Blissfully, the music stopped.

 I restarted Galeon. The music restarted. I did a "ps auxww|grep mpg" and
noticed the files in Galeon's cache that were given as parameters to the
mpg123. I killed Galeon, deleted the files, and restarted. The music came
back - this time, 'ps' reported that it was reading from stdin. The
bastard downloaded the music again.

 So, I wiped the history, the session information and the mimetypes.xml
file. Nuked it from orbit, the only way to be sure.

 No more music. Woohoo. Then, I tried to click the location bar, to type
in a URL. Missed, and hit the drop down button. Went back to the last
page I was on...and got the music back. NOOOOOOOOO!
