Bug 343491

Application: kinfocenter (5.2.0)
 (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 5.4.0
Operating System: Linux 3.18.3-grsec x86_64

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Viewing PCI bus information, when libpci doesn't have permissions to use any of its access methods (i.e. if filesystem permissions prohibit both /proc/bus/pci and /sys/bus, or if the user is running a grsecurity kernel without the appropriate permissions group).

This results in an abnormal exit because libpci's default error handling method is literally "exit(1)", although i'm not sure why the stack unwinding results in a segfault.  A patch that demonstrates a hacky fix for GetInfo_PCIUtils() is available at https://github.com/wolfbox/packages/blob/master/kde/plasma/kinfocenter/fix-libpci-segfault.patch .

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KDE Info Center (kinfocenter), signal: Segmentation fault
