Please kill the hanging process with signal 6 and post the backtrace.

killing it that way does not produce interesting output, since mdk has 
suppress debug compilation now.

Launching directly from the commande line and tracing gives an abort.

$ strace konqueror mailto:a@b.fr >/tmp/konq.log 2>&1

attached is the strace output

As far as I can tell, this bug is now fixed - clicking on a mailto: link produces normal 
behavior and does not needlessly eat CPU cycles.

Comment 4 Maksim Orlovich 2003-02-24 05:41:03 UTC

Inded, it should be fixed. There was a regression on the branch that caused launching of 
external programs to lock up, which is fixed now.
