Memory leak when loading playlist

Description
I tried to load a playlist with 1,852 songs from a file.
Rhythmbox crashed.
I researched further and discovered that it was blowing through huge amounts of memory. I have a 6GB memory limit set on my login session. When I removed that memory limit and tried again, Rhythmbox was able to import the playlist, but when it was done, it was using *** almost 17GB of RAM ***.
When I then exited and restarted rhythmbox, it was only using 1.7GB, so whatever it's doing to burn through all that RAM while loading the playlist doesn't appear to be necessary. I think there must be a memory leak of some sort.
