Description Bruce Gibert 2006-08-04 21:43:34 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I had the khelpcenter OPEN - (can't remember what topic sorry); I clicked on the "Glossary" tab & the application crashed, producing the following 'Backtrace':

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".

NB: I have *NOT* - as yet - reproduced the fault. I am a relative newbie - (this is my first report to "bugs.kde.org") - I was scared that if I tried to reproduce the fault, I would 'lose' the "Backtrace", so I decided to report it first & then try & reproduce it...I will now attempt to repeat it, & if it reoccurrs I will attempt to add that info to the bug report. TKU & God Bless You! - Bruce.

Does this still happen in KDE 4.1? I wasn't able to reproduce it here, so please try again with this version.

Thank you.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2011-06-26 14:36:17 UTC
This crash is from the KDE 3 version, which is no longer maintained. If you are experience crashes with the KDE 4 version, please attach an updated backtrace or report a new bug.
