vlc crashed with SIGSEGV

[James Benson]

Binary package hint: vlc

I was trying to view a webcam (usb controller was down, so it was basically not connected) It didn't load, as I didn't expect it to, but it did freeze when I tried to click a menu item, and then I closed it because it wasn't responding.
