Comment 4 for bug 1015383

On 14.04
What I did
Launched Rhythmbox from the Launcher.
Played a couple of wav files.
Closed Rhythmbox with the window's close widget.
Looked in the Sound menu to see whether it had made itself persistent. It had.
Right-clicked it there. After a long time it opened.
(may have played another file here)
The machine became very busy, mouse pointer disappeared.
Disk light continually on.
Opened another tty.
During the (very slow) login, a message appeared saying hda1 would be checked on next startup.
I ran top.
rhythmbox-metadata was taking 29% cpu and 60% memory.
Returned to desktop with Ctl-Alt-F7
In the background was the error message. Sorry, the program 'rhythmbox' closed unexpectedly. Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyze the problem and send a report to the developers."
Apport was taking 100% cpu but no notification from it appeared.
