Bug 111713

Version:           KMail 1.8.2 (Using KDE 3.4.2) (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

I've been using kmail for quite a while and have had no problems inserting files in email messages until now. I don't know what has happened, perhaps it's related to my inbox having exceeded some 12000 messages by now - that's the only thing that I can think of has changed since this feature last worked.

Anyway, what happens is this : 

1) I start a new email
2) I then select  Message -> Insert File...
3) I then browse to the file I wish to insert, click on it, click Insert
4) kmail crashes. No backtrace, no nothing, it just closes.

An annoying thing is that if I'd been typing a lot of text before trying to insert a file then this text is not even saved in drafts.

As I said above, this /used/ to work just fine, and I have no idea what (if anything) changed. My inbox has grown bigger, but that's about all that has changed. 
I can still sometimes succeed in inserting a file, but that's once in something like 30 or 40 attempts.

In case it matters, the files I'm trying to insert are stored in this path : 
   /home/juhl/download/kernel/patches-2.6.13-rc6-mm2

One file that I've *never* been able to insert without a crash is named strtok-1-frv.patch (stored in the dir named above). I'll attach that file to this bugreport.
