Description michal 2006-10-25 23:33:54 UTC
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.5, PLD Linux Distribution)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (PLD Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17

open("/var/log/messages", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

This makes ksysguard and it's kicker applet unusable (at least when not running as root).

Already fixed for KDE 3.5.6.

This was against trunk, but I think it is similar to the patch you're looking 
for.
