urgh, this is slightly ugly to debug.

both vlc and ImageMagick have plugin-systems, which get initialized during initialization of Gem's plugin system, and which seem to trigger a conflict.

just to imagine:

• Pd starts, and loads Gem.pd_linux via dlopen().
  • Gem searches for plugins and finds and loads gem_imageMAGICK.so via dlopen().
    • gem_imageMAGICK.so initializes ImageMagick
      • ImageMagick searches for plugins in /usr/lib/.../ImageMagick-6.7.7/modules-Q16/ and loads them via dlopen().
  • Gem searches for more plugins and finds and loads gem_videoVLC.so via dlopen().
    • gem_videoVLC.so initializes libvlc
      • libvlc searches for plugins in /usr/lib/vlc/plugins and loads them via dlopen().

the crash seems to be related to glibc (when (re)initialized by the qt-plugin for vlc's gui)
