Segfault in rhythmdb_entry_cache_metadata

[Anton Eliasson]

Rhythmbox spontaneously crashes during playback. It has happened a few times now while playing different tracks so it doesn't seem to be tied to any particular file.

Core dump (generated in gdb with generate-core-file). It's 1.2 GB uncompressed.

[Anton Eliasson (eliasson)]

This also happens after a few minutes when nothing is playing.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I had this error while importing media to the library. Seems to happen if i try to import my music library via a symlink. if i select the actual directory the import succeeds.
