Media Library limitations?

It took me a while to track the problem to something intrinsic to VLC. The Media Library will only remember 337 songs. I had at first thought it was because VLC was shutting down improperly (it crashed as I tired to use the Search Filter in the library). However, even after closing the program properly only 337 songs remain when it is launched again.

The way I am adding media to my library is going to the Add Directory... choice (after clicking the + button) and adding my ~/Music directory. This adds the files properly, all 12 GB and all 2120 files. There is barely a delay and there have been few playback issues (segfaults caused by bad files). However, as I said, closing VLC causes 1783 files to disappear from VLC's library. How many files can be added to the Media Library at one time?

Also, on a side note, the Search Filter seems to have broken between 0.9.9 and 0.9.9a, is this a known bug or also attributable to my large collection?
Thanks!

VLC doesn't handle correctly large collections... We are working to have an actual library (based on SQLite) for future versions of VLC.

Oh, OK. It's great that you're working on that, that is all that keeps VLC from being my only media player. Keep up the great work.
