Amarok 2.5.0 has a bad memory leak

[Gerald B. Cox]

Just an FYI in case like me you leave amarok running at times... don't....

Amarok memory leak when changing tracks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298627

Easily reproducible - just load up a playlist and
select the repeat playlist option.

The only plugins I am using are mass
storage device and lastfm.

I ran the following command to document the leak:
top -b -d 150 -p 11866 > amarok.txt

I then imported the results into a google spreadsheet you can view here:

Memory utilization started out at 7.4% and ended up at 31.9% after approx 48
hours.  The leak is steady and unrelenting.  I ran the same playlist under QMMP
during the same period and memory utilization was steady at 2.5% throughout the
period.
