Version: (using Devel) Compiler: msvc binaries from installer OS: MS Windows Installed from: Compiled sources when using kde open/save dialog (not mswindows native one), clicking "Network" crashes kate, same for kwrite and kompare (didn't test other apps).
In 4.2.1 it doesn't crash but remote files are not selectable.
If the crash originally reported is no longer happening, this should be marked as WORKSFORME. If you are still experiencing the same issue described on comment 1, please file a new bug report. Thanks a lot.
