Can you try running it through gdb? With: $ gdb vlc (gdb) run // then it should crash and return to the gdb prompt (gdb) bt and paste the output here. gdb will likely tell you that you need to install debuginfo packages, but it could be that it already provides interesting info without debuginfo packages. If not, then you'd have to go through this step too.
This appears to be behind us. Resolved.
