Bug 117305

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518 
OS:                FreeBSD

I have a FreeBSD 6.0 box that I connect to remotely using Cygwin/X
from my Windows XP desktop. Up till about a week ago this was working
like a champ, but that changed about 2 weeks ago after a portmanager
run that updated all of KDE. Now KDM dumps core the moment I probe it
for a connection from the remote XP box.

here is a bit from /var/log/messages:

Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91116 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91128 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:42 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process
Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kernel: pid 91140 (kdm), uid 0: exited on
signal 11 (core dumped)
Nov 21 13:56:44 jerseygirl kdm[630]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11)
from manager process

This is just a sample of what is getting spit into the logs. It looks like
KDM is crashing & respawning about twice a second!

KDM works fine from the console, I am able to log in just fine when I am
sitting in front of the box in question, but as soon as I try to connect
remotely KDM crashes then is promptly revived only to crash again. In
Cygwin/X on the remote box I get the traditional X windows gray hash screen
& the "X" cursor for a split second then KDM crashes & resets the remote
end. This makes it a challange to exit as the cursur gets re-centered on the
screen!

I have run into one other user who has the same problem. It presented
itself to them after upgrading from KDE 3.4.2 to 3.4.3. I noticed the
issue after portmanager rebuilt KDE after libidn (/usr/ports/dns/libidn)
was moved from /usr/ports/devel to /usr/ports/dns. In a fit of frustration I
even re-installed the machine. KDM's behavior is the same on the rebuilt box.
