How I can to solve this problem?

I try FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 and FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p5.
VLC version > 0.9.9a don't work with --extraintf logger --logfile ./test.log options.

Hello.

I have the same problem. VLC 0.99 is working properly, but starting with v.1.0.X i get seg. fault.

writing to a log file broke in the 1.0.X releases of VLC.

The Dev Team is working on fixing it.
