I\'m using armarok 1.2.3 and the Xine engine with mysql.

I was using amarok and I had a 120 minute techno set(an Essential Mix actually) and I wanted to see if Music Brainz could help fill in the correct tags so I ran it on the file. I knew it would take a while but I didn\'t expect the system to progressively get less and less responsive. I would move the mouse and it would update the screen some seconds later, the clocks were off by several minutes. I just let it go as it was completely unresponsive.. I noticed gkrellm2 showed that ALL of my memory and ALL of my swap was being used.. this never happens. dmesg shows this:

I don\'t want to do a backtrace because I think it will make my system unresponsive for some hours again.
