Description Thomas Heuving 2003-01-06 20:13:27 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.2 
OS:          Linux

In compiling kmailcool 1.6.1, kontact 0.1 and kde-i18n-es, I managed to freeze my computer. 
It was spectacular with kmailcool (less than two minutes and I had to turn him off), but also in the other packages are some files index.docbook (namely doc/kalarm/index.docbook in the kontact release) which put xmllint in an endless loop, in which more and more memory is used.
For testing purposes, I compiled kontact with kde3rc5 without problems, so it's a problem with the new xmllint.

What version of libxml2 do you have?  
  
This sounds like  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51023

libxml2.so.2.4.28

Was downloaded and compiled by konstruct, which I used to compile 
everything; and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib with
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3.1 and KDEDIR=/opt/kde3rc6
Could use a /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.4.23, but konstruct is building the 
new version for a reason?

Don't think so, because there are no coredumps, just a xmllint which 
loops endlessly and eats all the memory.

Not all people had the coredumps, the endless looping is definitely the same bug.  
Upgrade to 2.4.29 or better, where it's fixed.
