After I updated my OpenBSD 4.2 workstations with the released patches... VLC media player crashes!
VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

vlc:/usr/local/lib/vlc/codec/libquicktime_plugin.so: undefined symbol 'NewHandleClear'

The program '.' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

  (Details: serial 475 error_code 11 request_code 145 minor_code 5)

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.

   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line

   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful

   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Come on guys... what happened? I've tried uninstalling VLC and reinstalling it..

and even deleting all .vlc related files in $HOME.
Using Mplayer is choppy for some reason...
I just bought McDonalds and can't watch a DVD :( :( :(

It happens on Linux too. Simply, the security fix for Xorg and

Xenocara was wrong:

You could back out 006 or wait for fix for security fix.

try kaffeine or ogle for DVDs as well.
or change the video output module in vlc.
btw, you never said what arch this is on or what window manager you

are using ...
and cross-posting to misc and ports is rather lame.

Works fine here on the fresh installation of 4.2 release.  I think, I

had to set correct  device node in preferences but that was it. I

personally like the best Ogle as a DVD player.  You may also use MPlayer.

This report is useless.  Where are all the logs?
