Comment 2 Colin 2004-07-08 22:55:50 UTC 
Had a similar experience; using KDE 3.2.1
After a recent standard installation of SuSe 9.1 I wanted to view help for ACPI support. During build of help index, help center crashed.

Comment 8 Harald Sitter 2008-08-20 13:40:12 UTC 
Please take a look at
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
and create a new backtrace. The current ones are not very useful.

Thank you.
Comment 9 Dario Andres 2009-04-25 14:09:52 UTC 
Marking as NEEDSINFO
Comment 10 Nicolas L. 2010-08-19 10:32:28 UTC 
do you still reproduce this bug ? if yes can you provide the needed backtrace ?


thank you a lot
Comment 11 Luigi Toscano 2016-03-12 23:37:43 UTC 
The first backtraces come from the time of KDE3 times, with references to DCOP. The newer ones are from kdelibs4 but incomplete and most likely referring to a different issue (building indexes).
So:
- the NEEDINFO state was open for almost 7 years;
- the initial issue (KDE3) is probably long gone;
- the issue related to indexing may be relevant (still more details would be needed) but the indexing and search system has been completely changed (from htdig to xapian) with the changes landing few minutes ago.
For all the reasons above, I'm closing this bug.
