lua services discovery error

[Sam_]

Reproducable.
Open vlc and then playlist.
Go to 'Internet' and click on e.g. Free Music Charts or Jamendo. (screenshot)
Result:
It won't respond nor display anything.
Playlist dialog can only be closed by 'force quit' dialog.
But this doesn't quit vlc.
Right click on the panel icon selecting quit also doesn't quit vlc. Needs to be killed by pid.

Terminal output:
~$ vlc

VLC 2.0.x requires Lua 5.1.

Lua 5.2 is not fully backward compatible and broke VLC. This will be fixed in VLC 2.1.0.

Rémi, thanks for the feedback.
FWIW, just tested 2.0.3 from proposed.
This time in playlist -> Internet it let me click on all the services but froze again.
