Julien, in a vlc forum a user suggest to use the following script to
limit the ram usage of vlc and avoid your system becoming unstable:

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/profile
ulimit -v 1048576
vlc

The memory leak still occurs, but it just eats 1GB (you can set it to
another value depending on your ram). I'm not sure if the Valgrind trace
will be useful then though.
