Yes, I can reproduce it consistently with a specific mpeg ts input file. It
happens only a few seconds after the program starts.

Compiling VLC to reproduce the error it is not as easy as giving you the
configure script. You also need to have all the dependencies that I am using
(x264, ffmpeg and other supporting libs). Then, the program needs to be
executed with a set of parameters that tell it to transcode the stream to
h264. I don't mind giving someone all this information and source files if
it means fixing the issue.

I can also give someone full access to my build and test environment.

I did not try Freeman's patch because of the thread of emails that followed,
which really irritated me. The maintainers basically told him he was wrong
in his assumptions and solution but they did not follow through with a
"correct" fix.
