Very useful script that. Many thanks.

The only ports upgraded at the time were:

Nov 29 01:23:55 2007      samba-3.0.26a_2,1
Nov 29 01:27:05 2007      samba-libsmbclient-3.0.26a_2
Nov 29 01:36:03 2007      xorg-server-1.4_3,1
Nov 29 01:42:21 2007      wxgtk2-2.6.3_5

wxgtk isn't a dependency of amarok so that's ruled out.

With stdout & stderr directed to a file I see lots of variations of:

amarok:       [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] [virtual QStringList SqliteConnection::query(const QString&, bool)]  sqlite3_compile error:
amarok:       [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] index tags_deviceid_index already
 exists
amarok:       [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] on query: CREATE INDEX
 tags_deviceid_index ON tags( deviceid ); 

Then just before X dies:

amarok:     [Moodbar] Resetting moodbar: 
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::insertKAccel( kaccel = 0x2b562520 ):
 KAccel object already contains an action name "play_pause"
QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout
 for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow
: Fatal IO error: client killed
Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary!
 Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: Fatal IO error: client killed
amarok: BEGIN: virtual CollectionDB::~CollectionDB()
amarok: END__: virtual CollectionDB::~CollectionDB() - Took 0.00023s
amarok: [virtual EngineController::~EngineController()]

I tried using 'amarokapp', but the output looks the same to my
untrained eye. 

Had to install mp3blaster (ncurses mp3 player) to play some tunes;
it worked a treat :)

Thanks, John.
