I encountered the same symptom a few months ago, it was transient. 

Today, a crash occurs every time I attempt to take a snapshot.

I have a vlc.core file (246.4 MiB) but don't know how to parse it for bug report purposes.

I cannot reproduce this here. Looking at google, this is however something that has already been reported elsewhere for the past few years.

At one time, I gained the impression that this bug was intermittent. Not consistently reproducible. 

(In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #1)

Thanks. 

Without me seeking a bug report upstream: I can't produce a crash at the time of writing. Maybe it's fixed upstream.
