yep. i just ran some tested stable-xvidcore with xvid_stat and my
other rawenc/dec testing tools. _all_ programs crash/segfault at
the first malloc() called after xvid_init(). ive traced this back to
init_vlc_tables(): it appears to be illegally accessing memory,
which destroys the runtime-heap memory managemet code.

the dev-xvidcore compiles and works fine; this bug was obviously
introduced during the stable cleanup. i am not familar with this
function (michael wrote it). could someone try valigrinding the function??
