Playlist deadlock / infinite loop

This QuickTime playlist causes the playlist to crash: http://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih1/Cancer/videos/act2/CB5_MSTR.mov

Most often, the playlist thread seems to deadlock. Sometimes, I also got assertions failures or segmentation faults, so there must be some races. This happens even without the Qt4 UI. So there are really two bugs: VLC does not handle infinitely recursive MPEG4 files (this will be filed separately), and the playlist thread is not robust.

Note: as the MP4 demuxer has been blacklisted for HTTP, you need to fetch the file locally first, then open the local file. Otherwise, you won't be able to reproduce the issue.
