[vlc-devel] Help debugging a crash

[Sébastien Escudier]

Hi

I would like to debug a crash but I have troubles to.
The crash happens when I try to play an ogg video file, under windows or linux.
I have a linux vlc (latest nightly) compiled in debug mode.
This produces a 1.1G (!) core dump.
And the backtrace is useless (see below)
Do you have any idea why ?

Thanks
