Public bug reported:
When trying to play my "Prince of Persia" DVD, vlc just keeps eating up
memory and eventually segfaults. This a regression. I booted into Natty,
which played the entire DVD without problems. Next booting 12.04 again I
was able to reproduce the same problem.
In 12.04 it consumes more than 2GB of virtual memory and then segfaults
before even reaching the DVD menu. At that point it tells me there is
not enough memory to file a bug report automatically. In Natty vlc can
display the DVD menu using just 100-200MB of memory.
Here is what I found in dmesg output after a few attempts to play the
DVD under 12.04:
