Description Ernst de Haan 2005-04-07 11:07:30 UTC
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r4

Sometimes when I start Konqueror, it crashes immediately. This happens both when run directly from Kicker and when run from within Kontact (in Akregator).

Context:
- KDE 3.4.0 compiled from sources (Gentoo portage ebuild)
- Konqueror 3.4.0
- Linux 2.6.11

Reproducibility:
This does not happen each time, but it now happened 3 times in one day.

Steps to reproduce:
- Click on the (standard) Konqueror icon in the bottom bar.

Backtrace:
- I've got 3 partial backtraces. If I remember correctly, I did compile KDE with debug enabled, so hopefully theyre useful. I'll attach them separately.

Comment 5 Lubos Lunak 2005-04-07 11:17:00 UTC
The backtraces are useless, gcc cannot generate usable backtraces with -fomit-frame-pointer. Which means this bugreport only says "konqueror sometimes crashes", which in turn means this bugreport doesn't provide any useful information and is useless, sorry.
Comment 6 Ernst de Haan 2005-04-07 11:21:50 UTC
So what do I do? I will change the CFLAGS setting.

And then: Recompile gcc or recompile KDE? Or both?
Comment 7 Allan Sandfeld 2005-04-07 11:38:14 UTC
Recompile KDE and Qt. Preferably even with -g
Comment 8 Ernst de Haan 2005-04-08 00:15:29 UTC
I've recompiled Qt and KDE, but now the problem is gone... Cannot reproduce it anymore.

Great! Don't you just love when that happens?

BTW, I saw you used -O4. Try less aggressive optimisations and see if it stabilises for you.
Comment 10 Ernst de Haan 2005-04-08 23:45:01 UTC
Indeed I love it when I see that :)

But where do you get the -O4 from? My CFLAGS says -O2...
Comment 11 Thiago Macieira 2005-04-09 05:18:10 UTC
Uh... It's there... it's just that there's an "2 -march=pentium" between the O and the 4.

Sorry, my bad. No more bug hunting before morning coffee.
