This patch was one of the first things I tried when trying to deal with the bug in vlc. It didn't help.

A possible workarround for the bug that impacts vlc may be to disable the cleanup on unload code completely on mips 
(I haven't got arround to testing this yet though). It would mean a memory leak but only if an app unloads libavcodec at a point where the app isn't dying anyway.
