ncmpcpp segfaults when browsing/adding directories w/ 200+ media files

Hey,

I just installed mpd & ncmpcpp (ncmpcpp or ncmpcpp-git) in order to play my music whenever I am caught working in the terminal, which is quite handy when compiling mesa gits .  ncmpcpp looks like a great player initially, however when it browses directories with a large number of audio files (232 in my case), the player segfaults.  Worse, if I try to add the directory as a playlist the player segfaults whenever I start the program again.  Now, I have to fire up qmpdclient (Qt mpd frontend) and clear mpd's playlist in order for ncmpcpp to start.  This is obviously not an ideal solution; nor is mpd acting funny.  Any help/suggestions?  Thanks

You'll most likely need to file this one upstream.

ssri, file a bug on http://www.musicpd.org/mantis in ncmpcpp section, please. also, you need to provide a meaningful backtrace from the crash (see http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/faq.php for more details).
