Bug#367792: amarok: Enabling moodbar causes crash, instability, 30-something threads, 100% CPU

2006-05-17 Thread Brendon Higgins
Package: amarok
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi

Without moodbar enabled, everything works fine and normal.

Soon after enabling moodbar is, and when already enabled soon after starting 
amarok, a KMail window comes up with a 
message to amarok devs, saying amarok had crashed (attached). Strange thing is, 
amarok is still running. Then it 
gets werid.

amarok has more than 30 threads, usually it's around 7 or something. One of 
those threads is running at 100% CPU, 
the others say they are less than 3 (so I guess the 100% is a total of the 
other threads). Playing tracks seems 
okay, except that when I try to close amarok the window and systray icon goes 
away, but the track keeps playing and 
the 30 something threads are still there. Even after the track reaches the end 
and stops, the threads remain, and I 
have to terminate them manually. On next startup, things like the last track 
and playlist column setup, if changed 
in that session, have reverted to the settings they were last time.

I think I noticed once that after a while of playing in this state the program 
starts chewing up great wads of 
memory, eating into swap (and slowing my machine nearly to a halt). I can't 
seem to get it to do that just now, but 
it might just need longer.

Sometimes, after an unceremonius termination, amarok refuses to start anymore, 
consistently crashing and bringing up 
the KDE crash handler. Running amarokapp in gdb seems to stop it - no crash on 
startup - but all the other things 
continue.

After disabling moodbar, killing amarok and restarting it, everything is back 
to normal.

I'm hoping this is something simple, like a 64bit issue, cause otherwise this 
sounds like a hard one.

Peace,
Brendon
