This is a generic limitation of the Linux kernel virtual file system and
the NFS driver. There is nothing VLC can do about, since it gets stuck
in kernel mode: you just have to kill the correct VLC process (by PID).

Consider yourself lucky. Back in the days, you could not even kill the
process in such circumstance.
