OK, so everything was my fault :(

After digging mailing list, fora et al. and not finding info, I decided to wipe 
gnump3d and install it from scratch, without using the /etc/gnump3d.conf that 
I've been using for some time now. Guess what? Everything works ok.
The only thing I can think of as being guilty, appart from my stupidity, is the 
line

# enable_password_protection = 0

As commented in the config file, password protection is enabled by default; you 
only have to create a .password in the music root directory. Well, it seems I 
had uncommented the line, changing the value to 1, and it gives the above 
error. Commenting it again has solved the problem.
Sorry, I promise I'll make better tests before sending bug reports

Greetings

Antonio
