I am not sure I can reproduce this, because the IGMP multicast streaming video I used in VLC is not working on my new router

VLC crashed with SIGSEGV in QMetaObject::activate() in 64bit Kubuntu Natty using VLC 1.1.9. I submitted a dump when I was prompted to do so.

Not sure if the bug has returned, or if this is new. I posted here since the error is exactly the same.
