Version: 3.1.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc versie 3.2.1 OS: Linux When I have a line 127.0.0.1 localhost obelix.wbsoft.nl in /etc/hosts, kprinter crashes while it tries to fetch data from the local CUPS server, saying "kdecore (KSocket): ERROR: KExtendedSocket::connectionEvent() called but no data available!" When I change the line to 127.0.0.1 obelix.wbsoft.nl localhost it works fine.
Somehow, and I don't know why, the QDns used by KExtendedSocket finish their lookups but return no results. This is also similar to bug #56263, probably even the same cause.
The problem is rather severe, because _any_application_ will crash as soon the print dialog is brought up.
Bug fixed *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56263 ***
Closing old Resolved status bug.
