Re: vlc-2.2.1 crash in module loader

   Some quick grepping shows that atexit is no longer used anywhere in the
   vlc source tree (though it turns up in the Changelog pretty
   often ...).  Of course, it might still be used in one of the packages
   that vlc depends on, though in that case I'd expect it to have turned
   up before now.  I note that vlc-1.x on NetBSD used to suffer from
   a similar crash, which disappeared in the 2.0 and 2.1 packages.

   Looks like this one isn't going to be quite that easy.

You might try running vlc under gdb and setting a breakpoint on atexit
in order to find where it gets called.  (May help to build everything
with -g in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.)
