Sentry Crash Report:

Description Joe 2009-11-20 19:20:28 UTC
Application that crashed: kontact
Version of the application: 4.3.2
KDE Version: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6"
Qt Version: 4.5.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1-default i686
Distribution: "openSUSE 11.2 (i586)"

What I was doing when the application crashed:
OS: Linux 2.6.31-openSUSE 11.2 x86
Kontact version: 4.5.5-i586
KDE version: 4.3.1
libqt4 version: 4.5.3-2.4.2-i586

Kontact and/or KMail crash on starting. Sometimes the Crash Reporting Assistant comes up and reports a SIGSEV, other times Kontact simply does not start with no error message. Typically, multiple attempts to start Kontact in a row will fail. Starting KMail separately sometimes works, and sometimes does not. Not sure how to reproduce.

 -- Backtrace:
Application: Kontact (kontact), signal: Segmentation fault
