Public bug reported:

File plays, but segfaults a few seconds into the video.

File I used in particular can be found online, which should be helpful:
http://anime.la.net.ua/Kanokon/Kanokon%20-%2001%20%5bAyako%5d.mkv

Also happens when playing Kanokon - 02 [Ayako].mkv (located in
http://anime.la.net.ua/Kanokon/).

example:

$ vlc Kanokon\ -\ 02\ \[Ayako\].mkv
