My bug was introduced in the next LIVE555 version - 2011.01.10 (and 
fixed (I hope) in 2011.01.24).

The Mac OS X Intel version of VLC 1.1.6 definitely crashes 
(repeatedly), so it appears that it was compiled with a buggy version 
of LIVE555.  However, the Win32 version of VLC 1.1.6 does *not* 
crash.  (Those are the only two clients I have access to.)

So right now it appears that perhaps only the Mac OS X Intel version 
of VLC 1.1.6 caught the LIVE555 bug?
