Version: 0.11.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1) CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" OS: Linux This happens to me at least twice a day. I haven't been able to track down what is causing it and I can't purposfully reproduce it. I did however attach gdb to the process and caught a crash this last time so I hope you can help me. I can say that it generally happens after it has been idle. Lastly before I give you the BT I'll have to admit to you that I use kopete over a broadband connection via openssh x11 forwarding. As far as I understand this "shouldn't" be a problem but then again I could be very wrong. Plugins Loaded: History Backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I will gladly give more information as it is needed.
Can you recompile with debug information (FEATURES="nostrip" USE="debug" emerge ...) and repost the backtrace? Also, make sure you take -fomit-frame-pointer out of your CFLAGS as that kills any hope of getting a valid backtrace.
I went through a dry spell where I was having no crashes but they've come back in full force. I still have no idea what is causing them but here's my backtrace. (gdb) bt #0 0xb603337b in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0xb6c46efc in QString::endsWith () from /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #2 0xb6c451fa in QString::fromLatin1 () from /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #3 0xb7014757 in KURL::KURL () from /usr/kde/3.5/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #4 0x4a484452 in ??

Not really usefull backtrace.... It doesn't even show kopete calls what appears in the debug output ?
We can do anything without more information Please reopen if you can give us step to reproduce, or a meaningfull backtrace.
