Memory corruption with pidgin/rhythmbox
Status: Inactive

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.
