Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

I'd just installed vlc from the main repos and watched a video. I pressed the x (to close the window and thereby exit vlc), and amid this, a crash report appeared. When run from the terminal, the following appears:

"gabe@Vortex-II:~$ vlc

I've attached the mentioned core dump.
