It looks like there's nothing wrong with my code; it's a bug in GNUstep
Base (most probably NSAutoreleasePool/NSRunLoop/NSThread).  I'm trying
to track it down so that we can apply the fix in Debian.  Everything is
working properly for me with GNUstep trunk.

You can reproduce the *same* bug fairly easily even without my patch --
choose a song from the playlist, and then press the blue "i" button on
the toolbar (or select Tools->Song Inspector... from the menu), then
press the "MB" button in the inspector window.  This spawns another
thread to query the MusicBrainz server (regardless of the "threadness",
of the chosen output bundle, as it has nothing to do with it) which
always results in a crash.

Boy, this has probably become my longest debugging marathon so far...
