Stupid me for only checking it compiled, not if it actually ran. By the 
way, in relation to the fix, do we really need any experimental code at 
all in the normal browser? As far as I can tell it is only referenced in 
musicsearch.cpp, and the seachPath command will only update the database 
for browsermm and mdb, not for the old database and browser. It seems 
rather pointless leaving the command in there, unless its the start of 
porting the standard browser over to the mdb code?

I haven't applied the patch, I didn't want to revert the previous patch 
without asking first as chances are that the plugin needs to be switched 
over to the new api at some point, and that may be the only actual change 
needed. If no-one objects I will apply it sometime tommorow though.

I've never once had a problem with it. I haven't really used it since the 
browsermm started using the mdb database though, as it only updates the 
old database. I remember I used to occasionly get seg faults when doing a 
manual search from the musicbrowser, but as I could never reproduce them I 
just ignored it, it wasn't something I did very often after all.
