I've always executed the vlc app from inside the contents/macos/ 
directory. The program launches, bounces and all. It has worked in 
earlier builds. Is this wrong?

so what is right?

./vlc.app/contents/macos/vlc dvd:/dev/rdisk1

or from inside the vlc.app/contents/macos/ directory

./vlc dvd:/dev/rdisk1

because the later is what I have been doing and it has hung every time.
