Bug 233167

Application: konsole (2.4.1)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1)
Qt Version: 4.6.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686.PAE i686
Distribution: "Fedora release 12 (Constantine)"

-- Information about the crash:
Probable cause: Konsole buffer commandline over/underflow.

Line buffer is as I can remember 10000 lines in size, kept from previous KDE versions (still from fc11 4.3.x), that's probably the most important piece of information. It was set up to this size in 4.1 as this is quite fine solution for me (I tend to forget things & tricks).

First, I ran in Konsole (by typing):

su -c " yum update --skip-broken --merge-conf"

This was succesfull, without any problems. Latest updatest I checked for were yesterday and there were none on the list. After that:

blah# yum list ma* mb* mc* md* me* mf* mg* mh* mi* mj* mk* ml* mm* mn* mo* mp* mq* mr* ms* mt* mu* mv* mw* mx* mz* m0* m1* m3* m4* m5* m6* m7* m8* m9*

To run this command, it was needed to dig around 20-30, maybe 40 steps back into commandline buffer. When I was typing the next one, Konsole was on the last printing line of the screen, but that probably doesn't matter as Konsole had similar crashes which were internally somehow controlled, but cursor just lost focus or buffer was partially eradicated (half of line or so). After quiting/killing and restarting Konsole in such cases everything looked and went fine. 

I assume that the best solution would be for now stop using Konsole (at least latest and greatest hit) in drKonqi to install debuginfo. There should be used at least far more tested barebone version.

Nice hunting.
