Illegal Instruction in 0.2.80

[Edouard Lafargue]

  I just tried the new 0.2.80 version of Videolan. It looks very promising, esp. with the new preferences dialog and all, but unfortunately I also get this "Illegal Instruction" error, about three frames after the start of DVDs:

gryffindor:vlc-0.2.80 75>vlc
VideoLAN Client - version 0.2.80 Ourumov - (C)1996-2001 VideoLAN

zsh: illegal hardware instruction  vlc
(132)gryffindor:vlc-0.2.80 76>

  Not very detailed, but a more detailed debug output does not give any more clue. I saw in the mailing list that other people are experiencing this.

  Here are the details of my laptop:

  * VLC: standard .deb packages distributed on the web site for 0.2.80

  * /proc/cpuinfo:

  * Kernel 2.2.19
  * Debian, current unstable branch

   Any clue on what's going on ?

PS: and yes, VCD support, would be good, VCDs are still very current in south-east Asia...
