I can only say I've noticed one bug with VLC: If you have repeat play on and try to play a broken file it'll deadloop with very heavy CPU use, and it's nearly impossible to make it quit.
Joe Zeff:
kill -9 should do it.
It really bogs down the PC, I've got little chance to open a terminal. You could hammer away on VLC's close gadget and not get noticed. I nearly always have to kill X with CTRL ALT BACKSPACE as about the only way to deal with it.
Try <ctrl><alt><f2>
do a ps and a kill -9
Then <ctrl><alt><f1> to get back
