I tried it a few weeks ago and had the same problem, it was a
problem with the interface messages. It looks like a mutex fails
in system_Init() but, if you look at libvlc.c, msg_Create() (that
initializes the message queue) is called AFTER system_Init(), so the
warning message makes the vlc crash.

Just cut the msg_Create() and paste it before system_Init() and it
should work (it did for me). Would be fine to find a multi-platform way
to handle this well.
