Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Just as the short descriptions state, load the page and konqueror segfaults. This seems to be related to libpcre as the backtrace says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0xb66a26c0 (LWP 7233)] match ( eptr=0x8b36434 "onflikte feststellen (by alex)\r\n if ($(\"comments-create-anonymous\")) Element.hide(\"comments-create-anonymous\");\r\n if ($(\"comment-add-wrapper\")) Element.hide(\"comment-add-wrapper\");\r\n var wrap"..., ecode=0x89577bc "T", mstart=0x8b34a3f "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\r\n// <![CDATA[\r\n\r\n// create confirm dialog div\r\n var adminDialog = document.createElement('div');\r\n adminDialog.setAttribute('className', 'adminpopup');\r\n adminDialog"..., offset_top=6, md=0xbfa8a488, ims=3, eptrb=0x0, flags=0, rdepth=6617) at pcre_exec.c:3921 3921 pcre_exec.c: No such file or directory. ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- in pcre_exec.c I will double post the bug also in pcre's bug-tracker.

The issue is the same as the one reported in bug 160792. (libpcre bug that I couldn't reproduce after installing libpcre 7.7)
I think I'm using 7.6, at any rate, no crash in 4.0.84, although the rendering is kinda off. Is this something that can be backported?
noticeable output : KJS: pcre_exec() failed with result -21 and indeed, the rendering isn't what it should be.
The crash is fixed. Essentially, libpcre needs to recurse a lot for some really bad regular expressions. In KJS4.x we set a limit on it (revised down somewhat on later releases). Unfortunately, it does mean regexp matching fails. Re-titling for the remaining issue. It could be the same thing, though, as the regexp matching fails now.
Just tested the page once more with Konqueror 4.1.2 (Intrepid Ibex) and the page seems to work, no crash.
