I can confirm this bug. It happened to me while watching a 720p.mkv movie file
and switching between vlc and chromium-browser.
vlc eats up the whole free memory, Ubuntu starts to swap, Hard Disk is busy,
took me about 5 minutes to open a console and kill vlc. Then I was able to use
my laptop as usual.
** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
