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. HTH, -- Loïc Minier
