Description BORGULYA Gábor 2005-06-12 16:35:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.3.3 20040412 CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
OS:                Linux

When I search for a term in all local messages, KMail is reading the HDD for 20 minutes, keeping the processor at 40% (Pentium4), finally crashes:
too many open files.

Comment 2 BORGULYA Gábor 2005-06-12 17:06:25 UTC 
Running the search again I observed that the crash occured when the counter of processed messages was between 105'000 and 130'000.
Comment 3 Philip Rodrigues 2006-09-18 12:26:51 UTC 
Does this problem still exist in KDE 3.5?
Comment 4 BORGULYA Gábor 2006-10-16 18:53:29 UTC 
I ran a search with KMail 1.9.1 (KDE 3.5.2) and it did not crash.
Comment 5 Philip Rodrigues 2006-10-16 23:27:19 UTC 
OK, please reopen this bug if the problem returns
