Running amule with download limit set crashes system

[Wei-Yee Chan]

Binary package hint: amule

Running amule with download limit set causes high disk activity after a while and then the system crashes.

Setting the download limit to 0 (i.e. no limit) solves the problem.

Applying limits to the upload and slot allocation fields does not cause any similar problem.

This problem occurs on both i386 and amd64 architectures. Gnome and LXDE have been used.

Setting the download limit to limitless solves the problem.
