Description mps 2008-10-10 17:18:26 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs


Hi, I updated to kde 4.1.2 from fedora-updates-testing and kdepim 4.1.2 from kde-redhat. I now get random crashes when typing in composer in kmail. It happens when replying, and when composing a new message, but not everytime (though most) and not predictably after a certain number of words. It happens when kaim is run within kontact or standalone.

Funny thing - it doesn't produce a backtrace and open kcrash. When I run kmail in gdb I get the following output:

[user@localhost ~]$ gdb kmail

So perhaps a spell-checker problem? 

The message about debuginfo packages is weird as I do have those installed:

So what is going on? How do I get a backtrace?

Comment 1 mps 2008-10-12 10:42:28 UTC

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Its a bit of a showstopper, kmail crashing randomly and frequently like that. If people can give me guidance I am happy to spend sometime this weekend trying to get more info to help it get fixed, but I tried a backtrace, and not sure what else I can do?
