After a lot of compiling, I have discovered the offending module. The following
change is what is causing vlc to segfault when piping a PS stream to vlc.

U  vlc-trunk/configure.ac
U  vlc-trunk/modules/demux/Modules.am
A  vlc-trunk/modules/demux/ty.c
Checked out revision 10288.

Is anyone having trouble with the "ty" demuxer?

The following command is what Im using to cause the segfault. Playing DVDS and
some other streams seem to work fine.

cat 00*.vdr|pes2ts2 0 0|ts2ps 0 0|vlc -vvv --color /dev/stdin -I telnet
--aspect-ratio 4:3 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,url=:1234}'

Then, when vdr gets to the "ty" demuxer, it segfaults.  Everything appears to
build fine...
