The latest version of the OS/2 VLC player just got released...I downloaded 
1.1.13, was previously using 1.1.11.

Here is the strange situation I'm seeing, I have the VLC frame running in a 
separate window then the video playback. With 1.1.13 the video window frame 
shows up fine and plays back fine, however the actual VLC window frame (where 
all program controls exist) is nowhere to be found. Indeed, strange enough, on 
my 4 core AMD Phenom II machine the CPU monitor goes crazy and I see all cores 
firing endlessly. This is the sort of behaviour I have seen with Firefox when 
not using "SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1" setting to avoid problems with the 
high-resolution timer.

In comparison to 1.1.11, the player behaved just fine, no issues found and the 
CPU utilization was negligent...barely any spikes. My Phenom is running at 4 
GHZ, all four cores...so that is plenty of processing power.

When installing 1.1.13 I completely wiped out the previous version, so no file 
conflicts should exist. Once I encountered the problem I also rebooted to rule 
this out. 

Has anyone seen this as well?
