I'm not sure it's the same problem. the segfault I was refering to is the one 
reported by Michael Flohr (see below). This segfault seems to be Xvideo 
specific, and Michael reported it doesn't happen anymore with an up to date 
cvs version. Maybe it was related to this Xshm bug which has been fixed 
recently on the xvideo plugin, but I don't really know...

    vlc runs quite ok with the sdl video plugin, but
    preformance is much much better with the xvideo
    plugin. However, the probability of crash increases
    dramatically using xvideo plugin. Starting a dvd
    lets vlc open an audio and a video output. As soon
    as the xvideo window pops up, vlc crashes in about
    70% of the cases with various messages.
    Most often, it says
    "Gdk-ERROR **: BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)
      serial 39 error_code 178 request_code 146 minor_code 2"
    But giving it another try or two, it usually works then.
    Next often is the error
    "PES trashed - decoder fifo full !",
    and the third often error I get are segfaults.
    Very rarely, when switching around different
    chapters or titles on the dvd, vlc simply freezes
    and I get an error from Xlib sysing that there was
    an unexpected async event followed by some (varying)
    hex number code.
    I was not able to find any pattern under which
    circumstances which of the above errors/crashes occurs.
    However, NONE of this happens with vlc 0.2.73,
    and playing mpegs seems to be much less problematic.
    There, only the BadShmSeg error sometimes occurs.
