Start VLC under padsp on Linux: # padsp vlc -Idummy vlc://quit VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547) Segmentation fault The same process runs and exits fine without padsp. In fact, even this trivial and obviously correct piece of C code crashes with padsp while calling glibc freopen(): ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { FILE *stream; stream = fopen("/dev/null", "w+t"); if (stream == NULL) abort(); stream = freopen("/dev/null", "w+t", stream); if (stream == NULL) abort(); fclose(stream); return 0; } ---->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8---- I suspect the root cause is similar to this (Firefox bug): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/810214/comments/8
I cannot reproduce this problem either with the vlc command or the test program.
