This bug affects me too, with both 1.0.6 from the lucid repo and 1.1.0 from the c-korn-ppa. Their is no output on stdout or stderr, vlc just suddenly takes up a full core and starts to allocate memory at an incredible speed. Video will continue playing, at least until the swap slows down the system so this leak does not seem to be allocated in the main thread.
