Version: 0.12.3 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.1" , openSUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.21-0.25-default Hi, for some reason, since januari kopete crashes other msn clients when using emoticons in the message. I noticed it with amsn first and blamed that application, but now i experience the same with kopete vs kmess... chatting with msn messenger or kopete users is not problem. this behavior is confirmed by two other users of kopete/kmess/amsn, all using suse 10.1 or 10.2 with kde 3.5 and latest amsn or kmess... Is it a bug in kopete or are kmess and amsn to blame?
Something I can add, in KMess we just fixed this. It appears Kopete sends another \t at the end of the list, making the clients think there is another emoticon. So Kopete is sending malformed messages. The crash happened in KMess because we used a Qt STL-style iterator; > for( it = list.begin(); it != list.end(); ++it ) with another "++it" to jump 2 steps in the list at the time.
Can you produce a backtrace of the crash please? Please read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for more info.
Well, it is not kopete that is crashing, but the competition, like kmess and amsn. As Diederik pointed out, the other clients crash because kopete is sending malformed messages.
No problem between kde4 (0.50.1) and a recent amsn, and KMess is also reported to be fixed. Can be closed.
Working in KDE 4.0 (and I'm assuming KDE 4.1)
