 This is what you should try to fix first; anything happening
 afterwards is uninteresting to research as this is a memory corruption,
 so anything can happen.  The best way to research this is probably to
 use valgrind against a debug build of vlc.

 However, if you were to research this bug, I would advise to try a more
 recent source for vlc (for example a SVN checkout) as it might be fixed
 upstream.  It might also be a bug in one of the libraries vlc uses.
