gdb backtrace of polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

When I click on a hard drive (which is internal but not in fstab) in Dolphin to mount it, polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 displays a prompt for the root password. When I click "Cancel", it sometimes crashes.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Try clicking on a hard drive to mount it, and cancel every time. Crashes after ~20 attempts.

Actual Results:  
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 crashes, possibly with the KCrashHandles unless disabled

Expected Results:  
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 should not crash

OpenSUSE 12.1 64-bit installed with almost default settings; have single user account created by the installed with a password set.

Thanks for your report. However, the debug information is not really useful in the current form. Could you please install the debug packages and make it crash again? If dr.Konqi doesn't do that for you, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
