Version: 3.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs This morning I updated KDE 3.5.10 to the latest version via the rpms from the KDE repository of Opensuse. I am using Opensuse 10.3. The KDE version is 3.5.10 "release 28.1". Kontact interacts with an OX5 Open-Xchange server (commercial version, SP4 U1). I now get permanent crashes of Kontact when the calender (Korganizer) is open (!) as the active page/sub-application of Kontact and when an update/synchronization of the calendar entries is performed with the groupware server. The data update process itself seems to initiate and maybe finalizes, but any subsequent mouse click into the Kontact application triggers the crash. The crash also happens when you run Korganizer as a standalone application. The crash occurs after any automatic update/synchronization processes of the calendar with the groupware server (in my case Openexchange OX5). (I have set a certain period for automatic reloads from the server; automatic saving for new calendar entries is deactivated). However, a crash also occurs when you click on the ox Kalendar ressource (reload) and thus initiate a manual data download from the server. The bug therefore can easily be reproduced. No crash occurs when any other application of Kontact (e.g. Kmail) is open during the regular update processes with the groupware server. So I think this is a Kontact/Korganizer bug which seems to be specific for the present KDE 3.5.10 release: For comparison I tested the automatic update behaviour of Kontact /Kalender/Korganizer of a previous KDE version - version 3.5.9 "release 53.4". There everything works flawless and smooth. Below you find the crash report : KDE crash report: ----------------------- Überprüfung der Systemkonfiguration beim Start deaktiviert.

I should add the following: I meanwhile installed the additional kdepim3-time-management tools. After that the crash sometimes does not occur directly after the synchro with the server but when you double-click to insert a new entry into your Kontact calendar. Additionally, a crash sometimes (!) also occurs when Kmail is open and you switch to the Korganizer calendar after an automatic calendar update has been performed. To summarize it: Sooner or later an activity on the calendar or a switch to the calendar will lead to a Kontact crash after an update of data has been performed via a reload from a groupware server.
I installed KDE 4.1 for Fun on another system. The problem described above does not exist for KDE 4.1 Kontact on the other machine. So this is an indication that the bug might be specific for KDE 3.5.10 - rel. 28.1. I shall install KDE 4.1 on the same system as KDE 3.5.10 this evening and check again.
Meanwhile, I have installed KDE 4.1 in parallel to KDE 3.5.10 on the same system (x86_64 architecture). The bug does not occur for occur for the KDE 4.1 Kontact/Korganizer within its KDE 4.1 environment. However, when I start the KDE 3.5.10 Kontact/Korganizer within the KDE 4.1 environment crashes do occur as well as in the original KDE 3.5.10 environment. So, there is a bug in the latest Kontact version for KDE 3.5.10.
After importing a remote calendar, I got this backtrace on application restart (probably the same as above, but more detailed): Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Should have mentioned, backtrace in comment #4 is from KDE-3.5.10.
