Two months later, I decided to import my music into Banshee folder by
folder (I like it that much) because it had gotten hopelessly out of
date since I couldn't just reimport my entire library.

I tracked the crash down to an album filed under Various Artists (all
the way at the end of the alphabet, of course ;). I can actually
import each track individually just fine, but not the entire folder. I
suspect it may be an issue with the length of the folder name; I've
had issues with my tagger with this folder and these files. Also,
since the files are already added now (individually) I'd expect them
to show up under Import Errors like the others have, but Banshee
doesn't get that far before crashing. I hope that helps narrow down
the location.

Anyhow, here's some output for starters; if I don't hear back from
anyone about this in about a week, I'm just going to open a bug.

Did you think I was kidding? Let me know if that is useful or if
anything else would be.
