Crash upon start in SparkleUpdater (mac)

VLC crashes upon start when a video was played from shared folder on Linux Samba.

Not exactly sure about the replication steps. However, what happens to me:

  1. Run a video from shared samba folder
  2. Quit the player
  3. Sleep the Mac over night
  4. Run the player next day either by double-clicking a video, or by just opening VLC
  5. VLC crashes and wants me to report bug to Apple

This scenario happens all the time. If I try to the same steps, but instead I eject the shared folder and restart VLC, no error happens.
