musicpd 0.14.1 not starting

Few days back, I upgraded my MPD from version 0.13.2 to the latest version in the ports (0.14.1) and the new version failed to start at all.

When I try to start, it says
Code: 
Starting musicpd.
Assertion failed: (urllen), function song_alloc, file song.c, line 38.
Abort trap (core dumped)

Any ideas what could be causing this? Or is something wrong in the source?

Are all your ports up to date? Or at least all the ones mpd depends on?

Yes, my ports are up to date. No dependency or installation problems. Just that I cannot start it.
 
You might try deleting the mpd database (which will be rebuilt when you start mpd again). By default, the database is ~/.mpd/db (as specified in ~/.mpdconf).

EDIT: A backtrace would be really helpful too:

* Recompile mpd with $ make WITH_DEBUG=1 && make deinstall reinstall
* Crash mpd again to generate a core file with debugging symbols
* Open the core file with $ gdb mpd -core mpd.core
* Give gdb the [cmd=gdb>]bt[/cmd] command to get the trace
* Paste trace :3

Thank you very much kamikaze and hark. The problem as you suspected was caused by the mpd.db file.
