never connects, uses lots of resources, and needs to be force/killed

[mute]

Vagalume opens fine in disconnected state although CPU usage stays middling high even 30 seconds after opening the program. Then, pressing "play" or choosing any link initiates a "Connecting..." message that never ends, never resolves into an actual connection (music doesn't start). All of the buttons in the program are disabled, although the menu items are still accessible.
