+Summary: gst-thumbnail occaisionally goes nuts, consumes all availible memory
+
+Occaisionally gst-thumbnail will start up and proceed to consume all
+availible memory (using gnome-system monitor it shows as using 800+MB of
+RAM on a system with only 512MB of real RAM) and it simply does not stop,
+even when left unattended for several hours. 
+CTRL-ALT-DEL/CTRL-ALT-BKSP/switching to another virtual terminal become
+totally useless, and the only option is to reboot.  Unfortunately I can't
+reproduce this bug, I don't know exactly what causes it, all I know is that
+it seems to happen most when I have several open applications.
