VLC 0.8.5 httpd interface - file browser broken?

[SimonGales]

My music directory has 257 entries, most of which are subdirectories.

/mnt/smb/servername/music is an SMB mount; I have no trouble using it from the ncurses interface or with ls.

When I use the Browse button to navigate to it, the interface hangs - the directory won't display.

I've tried both Firefox 1.5.0.3 and IE 6.0.2900, neither works.

Some of the directory names contain spaces, dashes, underscores, apostrophes, commas, periods, and ampersands. Could one of those be causing the problem?

Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this problem?
