Hi Justin, there are some known bugs in the Dynamic Playlist code.
Maybe you are hitting those (we're working on them). Or you could be
hitting a bug in the Phonon backend that you are using. On Linux we
currently recommend xine.

Here's our bug report for Dynamic Playlists:

If you want to get a good backtrace, you need to install the debug
package (often called amarok-dbg) which contains debugging symbols.
