Description michael napier 2003-02-13 00:10:32 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker

Kappfinder starts correctly. when scan is started the program crashes. This behaviour occurs as a regular user and as root.

backtrace:

Hi Michael, 
 
concerning the backtrace, it doesn't look like a bug in the program, but 
a bug in some libs (maybe qt). 
Could you use strace to check what files are accessed before the segfault 
appears? 
 
Ciao, 
Tobias

Happens to me on Debian woody too.  here's the backtrace from the crash handler:

incidentally, this is the second time in the last week I've installed Debian
woody on my computer.  The first time around, kappfinder worked.  The second
time, and I'm not aware of having done anything different, it starts crashing on
scan.

Tobias, since the new releae this bug has been resolved. I tried to
enter that info in the bug tool but it says I don't have permission.
sorry.
