Amarok adds same item in infinite loop in random playlist

Bug #180452 reported by doclist on 2008-01-04

Bug Description

Binary package hint: amarok

Sometimes in the "Random Mix" dynamic playlist mode Amarok will begin
to add the same item to the playlist repeatedly in an infinite
loop. CPU usage goes to 100%, 'python' is listed as the offending
process in 'top'.

I cannot reproduce the problem consistently.

I am using 1.4.8 (the version within which the fix has been implemented), but this bug is still present:
Although no longer triggered by using 'Previous Track,' it still occurs when a song which has been played in a Dynamic Playlist (ie name appears greyed out above currently playing song) is added to the upcoming queue (or dragged below the current playing song). Essentially, when Amarok tries to play a song which is 'Grey,' the infinite loop behaviour starts.
