Bug 212890

Version:           1.12.2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, and I have a 100% reproduceable crash. It appears to be caused by problems with the dictionary. 

The crash happens immediately when hitting reply on any message.

I had the following incomplete trace:

This lacks a lot of debugging symbols, but it prompted me to check whether it could be something with the dictionary settings, and found that sonnetrc had something to do with it. 

I had defaultLanguage=nb and when I changed that to defaultLanguage=en, I could open the composer with no problems. If I manually change the dictionary to nb, it crashes in a similar manner.

So, it appears that there is something wrong with using the nb dictionary.

I presume that Ubuntu hasn't done anything strange to my dictionaries, at least inorwegian is still installed. However, I haven't been able to figure out what underlying dictionary sonnet uses, so it may be that I haven't got the correct dictionary installed. Nevertheless kmail shouldn't crash, it should recover gracefully from such a situation.

Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help reproduce.
