This won't help you since this is only a local listener for the router.
Moreover I'd suggest to have it disabled by default since there was a weird
DOS attack to routers a few week ago exploiting this setting.

If I enable global SAP listening here, I get about 200 SAPs in the first
10 seconds and VLC does not freeze (WinXP SP2, VLC-0.8.4a) 
So it looks like Linux bug.
