Bug Description

Binary package hint: xine-ui

The complete message is:

vlc&
VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [8197]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...

** (.:8197): CRITICAL **: gtk_pizza_set_size: assertion `pizza != NULL' failed

--

I wanted to attach an "strace vlc > vlc.strace.txt 2>&1", but if I run it this way, the crash does not happen.
