Does this happen with 4.8.3 or later?

Oops. Should have read it properly.

As far as I remember this bug was fixed. Weird.

Any idea if this is still happening with KDE 4.9?

Could you try the attached patch? If the crash happens again, it will give us some idea why.

Bah, sorry. Patch attached to wrong bug. Ignore the last comment.

Comment 7 Simeon Bird 2013-03-01 04:11:13 UTC

The qt bug that causes the zombies is fixed in 4.8.5, and Vishesh fixed the indexer to not use so many file descriptors, so we wouldn't hit this anyway. Marking fixed.

Comment 8 Simeon Bird 2013-03-01 04:11:44 UTC

That's *qt* version 4.8.5, sorry.
