Description Icekiss 2003-11-15 02:58:01 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

Used KDE-Version: Orth's kde CVS packages from 3.11.03

I chose "crash" although it technically isn't one, because this is definitely more severe than a "normal" bug:

Whenever I close a konsole, the program hangs, the window stays there, and the process consumes all spare computing power. If I hit strg+alt+esc and click into the konsole-window, the window closes, but the process stays alive. The process can be killed using ksysguard.
Opening a second shell inside konsole, and trying to close this second shell again (e.g. by typing exit), leads to the same result.

The best workaround seems to be to kill every console you want to exit with strg+alt+esc (as long as you didn't try to close the konsole normally beforehand, this kills both the window and the process)

I tried starting a different shell inside konsole as well (ash) - no change in behaviour.

If it's not a crash, it's not a crash.

I had konsole in version 3.1.3
Upgrading to HEAD solved the problem.

Sorry for the inconvinience.
