I can confirm this, I've deleted ~/.config/vlc and started fresh with 'vlc -v', then I did Playlist -> Additional Sources -> Shoutcast radio listings and vlc crashed after that with this being the last messages

[00000370] message playlist warning: message queue overflowed
Segmentation fault

Starting vlc with 'vlc --verbose 2' gives more info, somewhere in the middle of fetching (or parsing) the playlist there is this message

[00000370] main playlist debug: Adding Classical in (null)
[00000370] message playlist warning: message queue overflowed
[00000370] main playlist debug: Adding Club in (null)

and at the end there is the segmentation fault

[00000370] main playlist debug: Adding Zouk in (null)
[00000413] main input debug: EOF reached

Ulucky with google and videolan.org.
However it seems that Fedora is also affected:

vlc 0.9.9-1 doesn't crash anymore here.

Can someone else also confirm that it is fixed in vlc 0.9.9 so we can close this bug?
Comment by Mauro Santos (R00KIE) - Wednesday, 01 April 2009, 10:12 GMT
I confirm that too, vlc 0.9.9-1 doesn't crash anymore when importing shoutcast playlists.
