You're STILL having that problem?

Since VLC's video rendering is different from mplayer, it might be 
triggering a bug in this particular kernel.

How about compiling with --

X a52 aac aalib alsa avcodec avformat dbus dirac dts dvbpsi dvd 
elibc_glibc ffmpeg flac libass libsamplerate matroska mmx mp3 mpeg 
musepack ogg opengl png qt4 schroedinger sdl sdl-image sid speex sse svg 
swscale taglib theora truetype twolame udev vorbis x264 xcb xv

Also run VLC with

vlc --verbose 2147483647
