Version: (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian stable Packages I am Using kontact with debian etch and lenny. etch (KDE 3.5.5) is running an a computer with 4 GB of RAM. This computer exports idt home-direktory by nfs This Version does not crash. The second version ist kontact KDE 3.5.10 on debian lenny which is running on a VM from vmware. So I can change the amount of RAM easyly. Using 3 GB of RAM kontact runs but extremly slow so tha it cannot be hanldled. 2,6 GB of RAM is in use. Now I modifies the RAM to 1 GB and a SWAP-Partition of enougth size. of 8 GB. When I start kontact now, then the amount of RAM uses the 1GB of RAM an 1,6 GB of swap an then crashes. I repeated this for 4 times to insure that the bug ist reproducable. however kontact started on the 4th try. Here is the crash-report: [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb5e9d6c0 (LWP 4834)] [New Thread 0xb2efeb90 (LWP 4838)] [New Thread 0xb36ffb90 (LWP 4837)] [New Thread 0xb404eb90 (LWP 4836)] [New Thread 0xb484fb90 (LWP 4835)] [KCrash handler] #6 0xb7fa8424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #7 0xb770a640 in raise () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #8 0xb770c018 in abort () from /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #9 0xb7929988 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #10 0xb7927865 in ??
