Re: firefox52 crashes w/o coredump on -current (8.99.49)

Seems my just-built 'vlc' exhibits the same issue.

The full context is that I locally build "hdhomerun_config_gui" and it
demands 'vlc' for the "View" function to work (without 'vlc' available
it crashes).  This was why I've been keen to get a working 'vlc' on
NetBSD.

So, I launch 'hdhomerun_config_gui', select a tuner/channel/program and
click "View".  'vlc' starts, but then crashes (followed by
'hdhomerun_config_gui') with:

I get the same result trying to play a local MP4 video file with 'vlc'.
It eventually crashes with Memory fault (Segfault).
