[Bug 38809] A particular GIF file crashes rhymbox

[Matthew Davidson]

Public bug reported:

Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
After an upgrade (to 0.9.3.1-0ubuntu3), rhythmbox started crashing while
scanning local music files.

The output of 'rhythmbox -d' was:

[0x812b700] [action_thread_main] rhythmdb.c:2016 (11:28:56): executing RHYTHMDB_ACTION_LOAD for "file:///mnt/shared/music/Violent%20Femmes/Freak%20Magnet/vf_freak.gif"

Removing this GIF file fixed the issue.  When I put the file back, the
problem recurred with 100% repeatability.  A different GIF file in the
same location caused no problem.
