Hi.  Sorry for the lack of response.  Real life kept me busy.

I still have the hardware, in fact it is my DVD player, and the problem
is no longer present in my daily use.  I am using the kernel
2.6.35~rc6-1~experimental.1 and the crash do not happen there.  I test
with version 2.6.32-38 from squeeze when I get home.

Now it only crashes when I enable the external VGA output while VLC is
starting, which I try to remember to avoid. :)

Happy hacking,
