Bug 133394

And without a backtrace or instructions on how to reproduce a crash, this report is basically worthless. ;-)

I suggest you upgrade to KDE 3.5.4. A fair number of issues have been resolved since KDE 3.4.2, and chances are good that your problems will vanish.

If you run into trouble with 3.5.4, please open a new report with more information.

Same problem with kde-3.5.4 on FreeBSD-6.1 when displaying large streams of data (e.g. when compiling).

The original summary for this bug was longer than 255 characters, and so it was truncated when Bugzilla was upgraded. The original summary was:

Konsole crashes fairly often taking down firefox, emacs, and whatever else is going.  This is a huge problem.  If the terminal isn't reliable, kde is basically worthless.  Error Message: "The application Konsole (konsole) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"
