It is far more than just Amarok hanging, it usually crashes. Find
below a few crash reports:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225284
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211079
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214984
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222461

Even if those are triggered for people using Qt 4.6.x, it still should
not be possible for 3rd-party scripts to crash Amarok.

It has been suggested in a few comments that this could also be
related to the Qtscript bindings, maybe this is a hint for a solution.

For now I close such reports as invalid and ask people to report it to
the script authors, but we should find a way to avoid this happening.
