This one is rather easy to re-produce on win32, simply drag and drop two 
different
resolution MPEG files (must be different resolution to trigger this race 
condition)

(Press and hold "N")

It happens within seconds during vout resets with changing input.

With it been p_synchro=0x0 there's probably something gone terribly 
wrong in libvlccore.
