FYI, after a few days of using Amarok I've found it to be extremely
prone to hanging. To try and correct the problem I downloaded the latest
stable source (1.4.5) and built it myself. Still hanging all over the
place (simple selection of new mp3, re-arranging queued songs, etc). It
also appears to keep NFS file handles open (possibly with locks) since
my NFS hung a few times after it died and I had to force an unmount.
Definitely not NFS itself, I've transferred 100s of gigs over months of
uptime without a problem... only seen it hang on an Amarok hang (more
than once now). Anyways, I'll keep giving it a go, I created a wrapper
script when starting it up now that checks the process list and kills
all related Amarok processes before relaunching... makes it a little
more bearable).

BTW, I know this isn't your issue or anything Colin, just passing along
my experience for Dan :)

Cheers,
Rob.
