Unable to reproduce, can you create a more detailed problem analysis ?

To reproduce, I would do it like this:

-Launch VLC 1.0rc3
-open Media Information panel with Command-I or the menu selection
-Drop some MKV file onto the VLC Icon in the dock
-Beach ball appears
-Application crashes with a dialog "The application 'VLC' quit unexpectedly"

The mkv file would play normally in any other situation... I could get some debug info on the subsequent launch?

Could you submit the content of the crash report? Additionally, what VLC variation were you using (intel 32-bit, intel 64-bit, etc)?
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

VLC 1.0rc4 resolved the crash!

You just need to open it while the movie is playing. If it is open before a movie is played, it will stay empty.
