I\'m getting the following crash on startup of amarok on my debian-amd64 box. It doesn\'t matter if I use 1.3.8 packages or build from SVN HEAD myself. I see this error has popped up before on past versions. I\'m using taglib 1.4 as supplied by debian.

Here\'s the crash report:

Thanks for your help.

Here\'s some further information on the problem, running the amarokapp from SVN through gdb and extracting the backtrace:

If there\'s any more information I can provide, please let me know. I\'d really like to get amarok running on this system.
