Version: unknown (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-0.slh.1-sidux-686 The dialog that appears after a program crash does busy wait. If i don't click to close it, it will take 100% of one of my cores.
Where in the code did you find that? Having a quick look I can't see any busy waits, however reading all the debug symbols into memory and creating a backtrace may indeed cause quite some cpu usage. But thats normal.

Debug stuff takes a LIMITED amount of time. That uses 100% CPU until i close it. I didn't look at the code but i am still able to recognize a busy wait when i meet one.
