Description:

There is a bug in libid3tag which results in mpd causing extremly high cpu load and using a lot of memory (on my netbook, it used up all of my machines memory which resulted in fam and several other applications crashing) while scanning certain kinds of mp3 files.

I'm reporting this here since libid3tag hasn't been updated since 2004. The good news is that there's already a patch available in debian:

http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/libid3tag/0.15.1b-10/11_unknown_encoding

I attached an updated PKGBUILD which includes this patch and also another patch from debian (I also added gperf to makedepends):

http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/libid3tag/0.15.1b-10/10_utf16

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libid3tag 0.15.1b-4

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
I can upload a mp3 file which lets mpd crash if there's any need.
This task depends upon
