Bug Description

When running ktorrent in gnome it starts a process of mplayer which consumes all cpu resources. When you close ktorrent the mplayer process does not stop and it cannot be stopped. As soon as it's killed a new process starts. The only way to stop the runaway process is to log out of gnome.

I am running Gusty so it does not seem to be related to this bug which is fixed in gutsy:
