Sentry Crash Report:

Description Benjamin Reed 2002-10-16 23:55:51 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.8)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc 3.1 (snapshot) August Developer Tools (from Apple) 
OS:          Other

Somewhere between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8, konsole no longer works on MacOSX.  Konsole starts up and shows a cursor, but it looks like a shell is never started.  If I revert the konsole portion of kdebase to the 3.0.7 (3.1 beta1) codebase, it works just fine, so it must be a recent change.

Unfortunately, the KDE crash handler doesn't play nice on MacOSX so I can't get a real backtrace, and konsole_grantpty exits before I can attach to it.

Is there any way to convince konsole to run konsole_grantpty under gdb?  I tried wrapping it in a shell script but that just confused it further since it couldn't get it's parent.

And, of course, as soon as I try to reproduce it it suddenly starts working again.

GRR.

I'll close this for now, I'll reopen if I can get it to happen again.

Also, it turns out it's good to actually check the resolved radio button.
