When using Amarok, clicking "Edit Track Information", and then "Fill in tags with MusicBrainz" leaves me with 4-6 more amarokapp processes that aren't removed after the success or failure of Musicbrainz to get the tags. (The result of the tag update doesn't have any relevance to this). Eventually, the machine bogs down, and becomes unusable. Relevant USE settings?

Perhaps it only happens when the lookup is cancelled (due to it never finishing)? I'll try a load more lookups tonight, and post here with more info.

Wow. I didn't do anything after shutting down the GUI of Amarok. My machine got slower, and slower, and slower, until it was unusable, with the harddrive grinding away. Eventually, it "recovered", and all amarok processes were gone but I find the attached in the syslog: Looks like it was leaking memory somewhere, and eventually, my OOM caught it, and said "Enough is enough".

Can you try 1.4.0 version with all the configuration wiped out? It might be a bug in 1.3.x series but upstream does not cover us anymore, so if it's fixed in 1.4.x I'll ask for a stable on that.
Sure, will try that. (The latest in portage for ~amd64 is media-sound/amarok-1.4.0a-r1 ) I'll give that a whirl, but it won't be until after the weekend, as I'm going away.
Updated, not had any problems straight away, but my machine is getting slower and slower today. The culprit from "top" is : 22238 calum 18 0 1757m 818m 21m R 80.6 81.6 9:03.71 amarokapp
Hmm. It seems to have lost most of my collection too in the PG database. I clicked re-add, and it found it all again, but it's lost all the number of plays/scores/ratings, which is a bit of a pain. I was hoping I wouldn't need to do a pg_dump each night... :(
This is still a problem with musicbrainz, and this is why there's no musicbrainz support anymore.
