#18 Memory corruption with pidgin/rhythmbox

[pratn]

I built currenttrack and I am using it with pidgin on Ubuntu (Core duo if that matters).

I edited the Available format string to include album information also. I also changed "Quiet" to " " or some other string.

I notice two problems :
i. The status displays garbage frequently after performing the above operation. Sometimes random text is set as status.

ii. Instead of using the string within {q}---{/q} as status when I stop Rhythmbox, I see the status being set as "Quiet".

I looked at the code and I suspect that the format string isn't allocated properly or freed prematurely. This is also suggested by the valgrind logs.

I have attached the valgrind error log.
