i'm using amarok 1.4.3 (and downgraded to 1.3.9 just to see, and have same problem i'm about to describe). running kubuntu 6.06 w/2.6.17-27-686 kernal.  amarok starts up fine, but always freezes when building my music collection. it alwasy freezes around 11 and 13%.  i have about 12 gigs of music.  if it means anything, all the music is on a separate partition (fat32, i dual boot w/xp), but in the past i've never had a problem.  i can drag and drop files to amarok, and they play fine.  whats going on.

oh, and here's the output when starting from the console:
