Recently, I installed the SlimServer 6.2.0 (tried both the rpm & source)
on Fedora Core 3 with perl 5.8.5.  It mostly works great, except when I
tried to save playlists through the command line interface.

What happens is that the SlimServer emits a segmentation fault and died
when I sent it the "[player id] playlist save [name]" command.  However,
a more bizarre thing is that the first save attempt usually works (not
100% though), but the 2nd one crashes.  If I restart the SlimServer, I
can normally save the playlist once, but the 2nd attempt crashes it
again.

I also noticed that when the SlimServer crashes, the playlist is only
(what I call) half saved.  That is, the playlist seems to be stored in
the SlimServer's internal database, .slimserversql.db, but not written
as a .m3u file in the right path.  So, restarting the SlimServer will
allow me seeing the (half saved) playlist, but if I delete the database
file, it will be gone.

Also, when I looked at the SlimServer log file, I noticed several
instances of "Null Track Request" and "Couldn't fetch object for URL:
[]" from Slim::DataStores::DBI::DBIStore::objectForUrl and
Slim::Control::Command::execute.  From the timestamp, these messages
are logged seconds and minutes before crashing.  Right now, I'm
suspecting these messages are logged when I'm playing the music
(changing tracks, etc.), but I'm not entirely sure.

Finally, an even more bizarre thing is that SlimServer works perfectly
fine on another machine with Ubuntu (Hoary) and perl 5.8.4.  I can save
the playlist multiple times and it doesn't crash at all.  Btw, on the
Ubuntu machine, there are also multiple instances of the "Null Track
Request" and "Couldn't fetch object for URL: []" error messages.

Does anybody have any clue about why this happens?  I'm totally
confused right now...  :-(
