First, let us not mix separate bugs into this report. The issue of the crash is
something I canot duplicate with VLC 1.1.6 and stock KDE 4.6. Even if I could
the crash is completely unrelated to the freeze in this case.

I have already researched and identified the cause of freeze. It just so
happens that KDE is caught in the middle of this issue as a result of a
decision made upstream by the library developers and downstream by the app
developers. See the discussion at link below for the details:

http://lists.kde.org/?t=129572447500001&r=1&w=2.

I personally tried to workaround this issue in KDE KProcess by attempting to
remove the signals VLC blocks, but that was unsuccessful ; so at this point
there is unfortunately no easy fix for the freeze...
