I thought we were just fetching small files to see if there was a new
update available. Didn't thing we needed another thread for that. Btw,
now that I have your attention. Do the recent cddb-support in vlc use a
separate thread? I used to use xine for cd playback but too often
playback stopped because communication with cddb stopped and caused a
hang.

And one more thing: valgrind is complaining a lot about uninitialized
values inside stats code. Even when run with --no-stats.
