[Ipodder-betatesters] iPodder 2.1beta2 may cause iTunes 4.8 to crash

[Thomas M. <tm...@gm...>]

I started using iPodder at version 2.0.3, and had this same problem
every day.  With the 2.1beta2, the problem takes longer to appear.

What happened is that after a reboot (this is Windows XP Service Pack
2), I would get any immediately pending podcasts downloaded by iPodder
and they would show up in iTunes.  Then the next day, the podcasts
that came in overnight caused iTunes to crash, and when I fired up
iTunes again, the newest podcasts were not in the iTunes Library.  I
could manually add them to the Library, and they usually went
immediately to the correct playlist.

After upgrading to iPodder 2.1beta2, my experience was that it took
several days, but as before, iTunes eventually crashed.  iPodder
continues to run just fine, as if it can't even tell that iTunes had
crashed.  I wish it had some way to tell if iTunes died while
receiving a file, or while creating a new playlist.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  I have never seen iPodder crash,
but these iTunes crashes are well-correlated to the scheduled
downloads of iPodder.
