Can you please clarify this a bit? You installed VLC from OpenSuse 11 on your Arch system and it crashes?

And he also added a link to a Debian/Ubuntu related issue. Maybe we need a new "fun" category for our bug tracker.

It appear that this is the wrong place but I was directed here bu wiki.

Perhaps... but the fact is I still have no idea how to replicate your bug as I can not understand the description.

Was I correct in assuming that you installed a VLC package from OpenSuse 11?

maybe he googled for packman and found our bugtracker which is unrelated
