This was also reported as bug #325025, which I fixed in CVS a couple of
days ago.  rhythmdb_entry_get_string() for RHYTHMDB_PROP_SEARCH_MATCH
now returns NULL rather than aborting.  Since that property doesn't even
have a value (it's only used in queries to trigger a particular type of
matching behaviour for the search box), that's about all we can do.
