Yes, I'm getting the crash too. But sorry, this backtrace is useless. 

It's very hard to debug such crashes on exit, exactly because of the problem that you can never get a proper backtrace :(

This is definitely a regression that was introduced after Beta 2 (or Beta 3?).

Acknowledged, I didn't realize you were referring to my "broken" backtrace earlier on the mailinglist. :)

If anything changes or if I can manage to get something else out of it, I'll let you know.

As far as I can remember this bug got introduced with SNV Changelog being updated to reflect RC1. Can't remember having/seeing this problem before that.

I have a suspicion: These problems started around the time we switched to MySQL Embedded. And now I saw this on Amarok shutdown:

amarok: END__: virtual App::~App() - Took 0.22s
amarok:  Deinitialized thread, count== 2

So this code is executed after App is already destroyed, which might spell trouble.

I traced this code down:

src/collection/sqlcollection/MySqlEmbeddedCollection.cpp
70:        debug() << "Deinitialized thread, count==" << threadsCount;

Looking into that now.

Created attachment 28572 [details]
Bugtrace for crash on exit

the posted backtrace is from a newly build Amarok 2 (build date 14.11.08)

Another one:

SVN commit 885465 by markey:

Downgrade libplasma to r878420. This seems to fix the crashing on exit.

Big thanks to Gary Steinert for figuring this out.

shouldn't we rather reassign this to the plasma team?

@illogic-al you realize that we are using a relatively old snapshot of liplasma and that this particular issue is probably no longer relevant?

No, you don't :)

If that were true why downgrade and not upgrade?

This is getting a bit tiresome, cause you're missing the big picture. Try to upgrade it and you shall see.

No, you're ignoring the big picture because you can't be arsed. Nor can I. At least I can just come out and say so.
