Description Kurt Hindenburg 2006-01-01 01:18:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

From emails; history is limited so that can't be the cause.

=== Using SUSE - KDE 3.4.2
Konsole 1.5.2 (KDE 2.4.2 level "b", SUSE 10.0) crashes every time I do a 
recursive ls -laR. There are 74,000 files, with a mix of directories, 
files, symbolic links, and such, that spews forth a multitude of colours 
(red, blue, green, cyan, black, gray, magenta) -- as it should.

It can be reproduced 100% of the time.

==== Using SUSE - KDE 3.5
It was a bit rough, but I've upgraded to KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" and Konsole 
1.5.2.

I'm pleased to say that it does not crash nearly as often. (Of course, 
it could be that I'm no longer compiling programs as frequently as I was 
...)

However, I can still replicate the bug and crash the Konsole. Usually 
this has detrimental effects on KDE/X.


1. Settings >> Font >> Linux
2. Settings >> Size >> 80x40 (XTerm)
3. ls -laR /usr

Repeat step 3 until crash. Sometimes I started over with ^C. Within 20 
times of repeating step 3, I managed crashes with two different fonts 
(logs attached).

The first log (konsole-crash-01.txt) is from my regular font (Custom, 
Misc Fixed, Regular, 7).

The second log is from using the Linux font & size.

I can't reproduce this on my Gentoo system.  I've left my 'ls -Rav /' going for almost an hour... no crashes...

Kurt,

The mentioned backtraces haven't been attached to this bug report.  Do you still have them?

Unfortunately it looks like the backtraces have been produced with binaries that have little or no debugging information.

Does the reporter know whether this crash occurs when displaying one particular file in the "ls" operation?
Comment 7 Robert Knight 2007-07-19 19:47:02 UTC
Any updates from the user?
Comment 8 Robert Knight 2007-07-28 19:55:49 UTC
Closing for now as there is not enough information to properly debug and fix the problem.  Please re-open if answers to previous queries are forthcoming.
