did SVN r227753 (locale changes) break something?

This looks suspicious.  uselocale() does not call fprintf().  In fact, nothing in xlocale.c does - fprintf() accesses the current locale, so calling it from anywhere in the setlocale() path is likely to be problematic.

The newlocale / uselocale functions were introduced with the xlocale commit, so no existing code should be using them.  If you're just reconfigured / recompiled libvlccore.so then we may be in an untested code path - I'd have to see what the parameter to newlocale() was to be able to debug this.
