Hi,
I have already write you about this some times ago (when the 0.8.5 has come out), unfortunately today I have tested the new nightly build for windows, the 0.8.6 - 20060827, and the bug is still there!
The 0.8.4a rocks instead.
Here the problem:
with Windows XP, tested with a 5yrs old laptop and also with a 2yrs old PC, when I tried to load a directory with a lot of mp3 files the newer version of VLC crashes, always.
It has never happen to me with the 0.8.4a (which I still use because it is stable), right now i.e. I load more than 4000 songs at once without problems. (while the 0.8.5 or the 0.8.6 crash even with 2000 songs, I guess also with less...)
Thanks for your good work, I hope this will be fixed with the release of the 0.8.6 version
