I had the same problem. I was testing two .mpg videos, and with one of
them, if reuseFirstSource was true, it happened than when I connected
to the stream with VLC, and then I connected from another VLC,  the
video "synchronized" (it didn't start from the begining) with the one
already playing, and when they both got to the end, the server
exploded with a seg fault.
The problem went away when I set reuseFirstSource to false, and the
video now also plays independantly.
