Bug Description

Frequently when listening to music in my Play Queue Banshee will simply crash/close without any sort of notice or message. It always happens at the end of a song, but I can go back into it and play the two songs again without it crashing (so it's not the songs which are triggering it).

No "Banshee has crashed" messages appear, so I have no way to debug this and I am unable to do it on demand.

Any clues of what I can do to help debug this would be great. This is getting really annoying, as I can't sit down and listen to music without it crashing occasionally.

I'm pretty sure i found a workaround: turn off gapless playback.
I think it might have to do with library size the one experiencing the problem had >130K entries
