Bug#686250: vlc segfaults on opening a directory

Hi,

I do not know if it is related, but here vlc sometimes (4 out of 10 times) 
segfaults when opening a directory from the command line, i.e. "vlc .". 

Valgrind complains about an "Unrecognised instruction", so it does not help 
so much.

This is the gdb output:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/vlc .

This is an amd64 system with testing (but I checked the version from 
unstable and the behavior is identical).
