Version: 1.6 (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I've created two tabs with a bash console. I managed to crash Bash (which is very difficult to do...) by using fdisk on a defective USB Mass Storage devices. This cause fdisk to crash, and crashed Konsole as well (?!). I guess Bash crashes as a result of fdisk crashing. Does Konsole sustain a crash in Bash? In order to reproduce and test this scenario, one needs to have a way to crash the shell which Konsole uses in a particular tab, then test whether Konsole sustain that crash.

That can be done easily, just stop bash using "kill" with signal number 11 (SIGSEGV, which is the signal usually sent when an application crashes). I couldn't reproduce this here (the Konsole tab holding the killed session just closes) and without a backtrace from Konsole there is not a lot I can do. When Konsole crashes and the KDE crash dialog appears, please go to the Backtrace tab and copy the contents into the bug report.

Can you reproduce this? If so, please attach the backtrace to the report.
I will do so in a couple of days (out of office)
Closing as 'remind' for now until more information is available.
I've tried your suggestion from comment #2 (kill -s 11 <pid>). The bug does not occur. This is probably an INVALID bug, and you can close it.
