Bug 126177

Something is more seriously wrong than the code.  The arguments in trace #7 look like there's some sort of memory corruption.  If you can reliably reproduce this, try running it in valgrind and see what errors it gives you.  Otherwise, let us know exactly what you have to do to reproduce it.  Because the constructor for QValueVector is given a constant of 4, it *shouldn't* ever be 139477320, so I'm inclined to claim that this is either a bad link/compile/compiler, an alpha particle hitting your ram, overheating, or something of that sort.

I'm closing this as a WORKSFORME.  Please reopen it if you can reproduce it after a fresh compile.  

Rebuild today, from a new svn check out and same problem...

Result of valgrind:

These lines are troubling.  The constructor is called with n=4, which is hardcoded, so this n=139313808 doesn't really make sense.  Further, first-last is 4 words, so I know that the wacko value isn't actually being passed.  It looks like something's munging up the stack; either it's an -fomg-fast compile flag, a broken C compiler, or a stack overflow inside Qt (which I've verified isn't possible in my breezy 3.3.6).

I try building kopete with gcc 3.4, same bug ... :(

I just build kopete on my laptop (dapper drake too) and it works :-/

I install this build on my computer and it works !!!

I really don't understand what is happening :-(

Anyway, it works, i close this bug report.
