Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I got this as backtrace, but when I use gdb, the rhythmbox window freezes in the same conditions, but the program didn't seem to crash as usual, whereas it as segfaulted.

The backtrace looks similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443425

The same causes should produce the same effect (but not always in computing :p), it seems to be the case here ;) Thanks for your search, I'm on holidays and forgot to browse the Gnome Bugzilla... Sorry !

the bug has been fixed in the upstream svn

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

Additionally, I tried recreating this bug using the url provided in the upstream bug report with the version of rhythmbox in -proposed and was unable to get rhythmbox to crash. Subsequently, I am closing this bug as Fix Released.

the new 0.11.5.90 version uploaded to intrepid fixes the issue, closing the bug
