Bug 138521

Version:           1.6.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 
OS:                Linux

Konsole crashes on alternate save attempts when I set history to >2000 lines and then I try save history to a file. 

I am using Konsole 1.6.4 with KDE 3.5.4 on Slackware 11.0.

When I scan the bug history I see that this behaviour is similar to Bug 85779: History Size set to Unlimited with > 50.000 lines causes Konsole to crash when you try to save the history. That bug was fixed 2.5 years ago in Konsole 1.3.2. It is also similar to Bug 111604 which was apparently fixed in Konsole 1.4.2 so I believe that this may be something new.

Here is how I can reliably reproduce this failure:
> I am trying to capture the output of a failing "make" for a project I am working on, that produces about 2800 lines of text. 
> The failure occurs when I am using just one session or when I am using multiple sessions in my Konsole window.
> Set the session to record >2000 lines (I am trying to capture 3000 lines) (Konsole Menu->Settings->History, Enable checked, Number of lines: 3000)
> Clear the session histories before starting (Konsole Menu->Edit->Clear All Histories)
> Generate a little more than 2000 lines of output (my "make" works, but so does "cat"ing a big text file) 
> Save the session history to a file (Konsole Menu->Edit->Save History As ...->{Enter a name}->Save->Overwrite)
> Clear the session histories again
> Generate a lot of output again
> Save the session history to a file (Konsole Menu->Edit->Save History As ...->{Enter a name}->Save->Overwrite)
> The Konsole application then crashes

If I do not clear the session history then the crash does not occur reliably.

After the crash the Konsole windows disappear and the KDE crash handler takes over reporting a signal 11 SIGSEGV error. 
Here is the KDE backtrace report:
