Bug#710190: vlc: Segfault when opening a playlist containing rtsp urls

[Jules Bernable]

Ok, so I updated libproxy0 to the latest version 
(0.3.1-6/stable,testing,unstable) and the bug is gone !
Currently the vlc-nox package depends on libproxy0 >= 0.2.3
Maybe should it be updated to depend on libproxy0 >= 0.3.1 ?
