Bug#471238: vlc: crashes when displaying SAP announces

[Alexander Wuerstlein]

Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5etch1
Severity: important


In the playlist window, with SAP announces activated, vlc crashes
reproducably. Sometimes the error occurs immediately when opening the
playlist, sometimes only after a short time (2 - 3 seconds). I suspect
this has to do with the number of announces in the playlist.

The crash leaves an error on stdout like the following. the "glibc
detected" line is printed when the crash occurs, the failed assertion
when opening the playlist.

| VLC media player 0.8.6a Janus
| [00000279] main playlist: nothing to play
| 
| ** (.:23547): CRITICAL **: gtk_pizza_set_size: assertion `pizza != NULL'
| failed
| *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x08364ad0 ***
| zsh: abort      vlc
