[vlc] Bug/hang

[Ron Beck]

I just installed VLC v1.0.0.  I experienced a hang.  I don't do IRC, so
I'm not sure I can get this into the bug tracking system.  Everything
was default, out-of-the-box, never installed before.  Running on Vista
Business, SP1, AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 5000+ 2.6 GHz, 2GB RAM.
 
I was watching a short .mpg file from a flash drive on a USB port.  I
hit the frame-by-frame button.  I was clicking the frame-by-frame button
repeatedly to step through the scene, but it seemed to get
sluggish/unresponsive.  I went to the view/customize interface... dialog
and tried to drag Step-backward and Step-forward buttons to the first
line of the toolbar, next to the frame-by-frame icon.  When I went back
to the player, all I had was the two added buttons on the first line.  I
dragged the two buttons back to the tool box, and now I don't have
anything on the first line.  The other icons still show up in the
toolbar editor, but not on the player window.
 
I tried to restart the application, but it will not quit.  It is stuck
in my toolbox in the "paused" state.  I can't stop or quit or play.  I
can't eject the flash drive, since it still has the .mpg open.  Task
manager says it is taking 2-8% of the processor, and the memory usage is
fluctuating around 32,320K.  I was able to kill the application with the
task manager, so everything is back to normal, except I don't see the
first line of my tool bars anymore.
 
Thanks,
