Version:           3.4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I often use kompare to diff large directories. Once in a while it will just crash with:

KCrash: Application 'kompare' crashing...

after hitting enter the command prompt returns, so I've used gdb to get more info and have attached a stack trace below. The diffs are comparing 2x 25MB directories. They are a bit large to include here, so please let me know if you need the directories, otherwise I can help debug this further.

Stack indicates possible out of memory situation - the diffs in the files are not that very much, so find this surprising. I got 256MB RAM.
