libdvdread fills memory and crashes when running lsdvd and other tools

[Bruce Dudek]

When trying to use lsdvd, dvd::rip and other tools that need the libdvdread library the tools tend to use all memory on the machine and these errors are produced. I kept a top running in another window and watched 4G of memory go to lsdvd to produce the errors below.

I can confirm this error on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64

I'm not reproducing this myself on 11.04. Does this occur for you with any DVD or only on a specific DVD?

Please attach the output from 'dmesg' from after reproducing the bug.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Also please attach the full output from running lsdvd or one of the other tools.
