[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#731134: amarok: Amarok eats up all memory when playing from Magnatune

[Shai Berger]

Package: amarok
Version: 2.7.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using Amarok, I tried to listen to Beth Quist's album,
Lucidity, from MagnaTune. When I first added the album
to my playlist, Amarok started playing from the 3rd song.
I moved to the first song. During the second song, I 
noticed my whole system slowing down. Upon check, I saw 
Amarok taking upwards of 80% of my system's 8G memory, with 
a virtual size over 11G. I was able to quit it, and start 
it again, playing only from my local collection; in these
conditions, things seem normal (Amarok taking 1.7% of
system memory, RES 137m, VIRT 5148m).

I have another system running Debian Sid, I will try to
reproduce there later tonight.
