Description mdmpublic 2009-02-04 00:44:54 UTC

Version:           1.10.3 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

kmail crashed (and the system with it) while uploading emails with 2MB attachments. I had to restart the system.
It has only happened once so far (I installed KDE 4.1 a couple of days ago). I haven't had a chance to reproduce the crash yet.

After restarting the system, the KDE Crash Handler appeared saying:

"A Fatal Error Occurred
The application KMail (kmail) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)."


The trace of the crash is:

Application: KMail (kmail), signal SIGSEGV

Comment 1 Christophe Marin 2009-03-09 11:01:20 UTC

The system crash was probably due to a kernel bug in OpenSuse 11.1 (which was fixed two weeks ago).

Since you are not able to reproduce this crash, I'll change its status. (I doubt KMail is the cause in this case).

Note for future crash reports: We almost cannot do anything with incomplete backtraces. You can find informations about how to report (almost) perfect ones on this page :
