I've added Michael Pyne to CC, probably he can comment about this icon-cache thingy. KDE Platform 4.5.2 had a couple of KSharedDataCache fixes that might be related. Most likely is a fix for the cache defragmentation where the last page (out of thousands, mind) would not be updated correctly. The full list is available at http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_5_1to4_5_2.php I would strongly encourage upgrading at least kdelibs to ensure that it's not a known bug. Failing that, there are a couple of bug reports still extant, including bug 243573 (crash under heavy load) and bug 253795 (crash when system time is changed) that might be relevant. I have updated kdelibs to 4.5.2 but the problem still persists. This also happens with KDE SC 4.5.3. Dolphin crashes very hard some time after I "played" with the icon size slider. I don't know in which time slices the icon cache gets checked or rewritten but it seems at that moment dolphin gets knocked out. First dolphin vanishes from screen, then I know I have to be very quick to save my works because one by one all other applications and the desktop vanish too until only a black screen with mouse cursor is left. The whole process can take up to several minutes after dolphin crashed but you don't know which is the appliaction that follows first. High data loss danger! Did cost me some extra work... And it's always dolphin that triggers the crash. Git commit 561e6494bdd9a02cc8feef649f7dbbd40a1456c3 by Michael Pyne. Committed on 20/05/2012 at 00:13. Pushed by mpyne into branch 'KDE/4.8'. kshareddatacache: Validate cache page size. This commit ensures that the cache page size is actually a power-of-2 and within the band of possible sizes that could possibly have been set. If this is not the case the cache is assumed corrupted and reset. This should help with any cache-corruption bugs caused by a wrong cache page size (although these don't exactly make themselves obvious). More fixes to follow... This one /should/ fix 274252 outright and may be of interest to several others.

Committed on 21/05/2012 at 01:19. Pushed by mpyne into branch 'KDE/4.8'. kshareddatacache: Adopt KSDCCorrupted for exceptional errors. This involves converting many present assertions (which crash no matter what) and error-code return values (which have to be checked everywhere the return value is used at) into using the KSDCCorrupted exception. The nice thing about using the exception is that it can be trapped and handled so that it does not cause an application crash. There's still a bit more to do -- the end goal is that all accesses to shm, no matter how minor, are vetted beforehand to ensure it won't cause a page fault or bus violation.
