[SOLVED ]VLC shuts down itself after opening a video file

The topic title says everything in a nutshell.

Here's the console output:

[calmis@purpleorange src]$ vlc

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted

I don't know why it is happening, as far as I can tell it used to work last time(well.. It's ages since I last tried to watch a video, sometime in July after I re-installed Arch), and I happened to do full system upgrade today few hours ago. Maybe the new version is the culprit here?

Edit: Reinstalling dbus or vlc didn't have any impact on this.
