This memory leak happened to me a couple of days ago in VLC 1.1.9 in Natty x64... I had never encountered the problem before, and haven't been able to reproduce it. I was watching an Xvid for about 3 minutes in fullscreen before it happened. Alt-SysRq was still responsive, though, so shortly after I recognized that there was a problem:
