Description
Robert Buchholz (RETIRED)
![]() Patch is here: http://www.videolan.org/patches/vlc-0.8.6-CORE-2008-0130.patch And this should be fixed in the "e" release, whenever that goes public. So I'd go for patching our 0.8.6d-r1. Media-video, what do you think? http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.6e/vlc-0.8.6e.tar.bz2 exists it's been tagged a few days ago, but I didn't see an announcement yet. lemme check what's up with this 0.8.6e is officially released.

I'll investigate further on another system, but for now, I'm holding off on sparc. (In reply to comment #8) > Initial test on sparc results in a BadAlloc error from X followed by a > SegFault.

On my reference system (whick is completely current) it does not occur. Hence, Stable for sparc. alpha stable, thanks Tobias ppc stable amd64 stable, sorry for the delay. Fixed in release snapshot.
