Bug#853263: vlc: [~~opening non-existing file makes vlc go crazy

Package: src:vlc
Version: 2.2.4-13
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
 
 Tried to open a file path from command line, entring file name from
 memory. Like... vlc /tmp/hangme

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
 
 File name was incorrect... but it happens with any non-existent file.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
 
 vlc window opened but not displayed correctly (only frames) and a modal
 error window opened (also no content, only frame) and my fans went on
 (i.e. full CPU load on all cores). In the comand line, we see tons of
 lines printed like those below. After some seconds some of that lines
 also appear in the error window but the window is unresponsive. Killing
 vlc with SIGINT is still possible, though.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

 display of vlc error window with just one message and no dead-looping.
