The system were I got this error broke.  It would stay up for about 10
minutes then freeze hard.  It didn't matter what I was running or not
running.  Rebooting didn't do any good unless I waited for a while.  I
suspect a component on the motherboard has heat problems.

So I replace the motherboard and the problem with vlc went away.  Was it due
to the motherboard problem?  A BIOS setting?  This one may remain a mystery.

Thanks for the help Thomas.
