Please kill the hanging process with signal 6 and post the backtrace.
Subject: Re: konqueror hang and is cpu hog handling mailto: uri killing it that way does not produce interesting output, since mdk has suppress debug compilation now. Launching directly from the commande line and tracing gives an abort. $ strace konqueror mailto:a@b.fr >/tmp/konq.log 2>&1 attached is the strace output Created an attachment (id=910) konq.log.gz
As far as I can tell, this bug is now fixed - clicking on a mailto: link produces normal behavior and does not needlessly eat CPU cycles. kdebase-3.1-50mdk kdelibs-3.1-33mdk kdenetwork-3.1-19mdk
Inded, it should be fixed. There was a regression on the branch that caused launching of external programs to lock up, which is fixed now.
