Bug#640333: vlc segfaults when playing a http stream

R.Lucassen debian-bugreport4 at xaq.nl
Sun Sep 4 11:37:16 UTC 2011


Package: vlc
Version: 1.1.11-2+b2
Severity: important

When vlc is invoked to run an http stream, vlc segfaults (same happens with two other laptops, of which one is an i386), e.g.:

$ vlc http://wmscr2.dr.dk/e02ch06m?wmcontentbitrate=300000
VLC media player 1.1.11 The Luggage (revision exported)

Segmentation fault

This occurs since an update of debian testing today or yesterday.
