[streaming] VLC Support for dynamic resolution change in 264 stream ?

Hi all,

I tried using VLC to play back a 264 stream in which resolution (width 
and height) changes in the mid. When the resolution changes in mid, 
sequence restarts with a new SPS, PPS and IDR NALU. VLC crashes for that 
type of stream. The stream that I used has 15 frames of D1 frame 
followed by 15 frames of QVGA and so on...

The messages window showed two type of errors

- one error is from vout_directx

vout_directx debug: NewPictureVec overlay:yes chroma:YV12
vout_directx warning: DirectXUpdateOverlay cannot move/resize overlay
vout_directx error: overlay unuseable (might already be in use)

and the second error came from ffmeg library.

ffmpeg warning: top block unavailable for requested intra mode at 28 0
 (h264@00B26890)
ffmpeg warning: error while decoding MB 28 0
 (h264@00B26890)
ffmpeg debug: concealing 1350 DC, 1350 AC, 1350 MV errors
 (h264@00B26890)
ffmpeg warning: top block unavailable for requested intra mode at 32 0

ffmpeg debug: concealing 1350 DC, 1350 AC, 1350 MV errors

This error can be reproduced by concatenating two 264 streams of 
different resolution and playing it with VLC. Has anyone faced the 
similar problem? Is there any solution to this problem?
I am using latest VLC media player release 0.8.6e
