Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When right-clicking on some songs and selecting "Properties" Rhythmbox crashes with a segmentation fault. IT only happens when a single track is selected, not when many are selected and I open the song properties for all of them. Some trial and error seems to suggest that it's only tracks with odd characters in them, eg tracks from "DJ Louis Slipperz - *£*10 Bag Volume 2" or "Fun Lovin' Criminals - 100*%* Colombian" cause the crash while many others do not (I added the *s for emphasis).

System and package:

$ lsb_release -rd

I assume that was some kind of automated response, I already attached a backtrace ;)

Ok, so that last one doesn't actually include the backtrace. Sorry, this one does.

The crash is similar to the one in upstream comment #4. The bug has been fixed upstream for rhythmbox 0.12.7.
