Strange mpc segfault issue

When I went to do my usual `mpc playlist | grep` method of looking for a song to play, I got a strange error...

http://pastebin.com/m6d72296f

Curious, I ran regular old `mpc playlist`. What I got was 310 lines of the expected output followed by "Segmentation fault", and was returned to my bash prompt. I decided to go out on a limb and see if it would treat root the same way. To my surprise, `mpc playlist` worked with no issue, as did my usual grep-ing.

I went back and made sure the permissions on my music directory were good, made sure I had plenty of RAM, recreated the MPD database, everything. I don't understand what's up. At first I thought it was a kernel issue so I `pacman -Syu`'d and restarted, only to find the issue was still there.

Any suggestions?

Re: Strange mpc segfault issue

Same here, I noticed it some time ago when i piped the output to dmenu...
It also occurs when you redirect the output to a file or anywhere else.
I haven't found a solution yet, have you asked the devs or the mpc mailing list (if there is one) yet?

No, I haven't talked to devs or the mailing list.. don't really understand how mailing lists work.
