[vlc] horrible bug

[John Michael Williams]

Hi.

Your computer may be short on disc space or memory.   I have
a 2 GHz CPU and it took less than 1 minute to rebuild my
font cache when I upgraded to v. 1.1.3.

Other possible problems:

1. Your computer is infected; run an antivirus such as Clamscan.

2. Your startup files are corrupted:  Assuming you are using Windows,
    go to C:/Documents and Settings/(your user name)/Application Data/vlc

    Delete everything there (including font cache) and then restart VLC.

3. your files are heavily fragmented.  Run the Windows "Disc
    Defragmenter" as Admin.
