The problem is actually Thread 12 calling exit(). Then a Qt4 exit
handler gets called while Qt4 is still active, and the process crashes.
exit() is being called by libslang2. Why libslang2 does that, and how
libslang2 ended up in the VLC process, I don't know for sure. My guess
is that it was imported libcaca. However I have no clue why libcaca
would even be in use.
For me, the fix consists of removing caca from VLC, unless libcaca gets
fixed.
