Description Olaf Schubert 2006-11-14 22:27:48 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When attaching big files to an E-Mail Kontact crashes after a short while. I encountered this bug when trying to attach several images with a total size of about 30MB.
I was able to reproduce the crash with these steps:
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigFile count=50k
2) attach drag&drop /tmp/bigFile to an empty message
Kontact takes some time (seconds) and then crashes.

The last 
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  St9bad_alloc
