Description Alan Moore 2009-09-02 22:00:29 UTC 
Application that crashed: plasma-desktop
Version of the application: 0.3
KDE Version: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1)
Qt Version: 4.5.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-15-server i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04

What I was doing when the application crashed:
I was not doing anything plasma-related in particular, just surfing the web on firefox.  Plasma suddenly crashed and reloaded, and I was prompted to file a bug report.

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-09-02 22:21:32 UTC 
Mh, the crash seems related to the Daisy widget, however it points to something in kdelibs ...

Thanks
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2010-01-09 18:28:21 UTC 
Since the size 16404 is appropiate, malloc detected a memory corruption. This could happen anywhere, not just in calls leading to this backtrace. As such, this bug report is useless.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2010-10-14 00:27:08 UTC 
(I quickly reviewed the backtrace of this crash, and it appears to be caused by KIconCache memory corruption. If this is not the case, please reopen.)

Closing all KIconCache crashes as fixed, because the KIconLoader in KDE SC 4.5 now uses KSharedDataCache to cache icons, and it is believed that the new class is less prone to random crashes or memory corruption.

If you still can reproduce a crash with version 4.5, please report it separately. If you cannot upgrade to 4.5 yet, you should be able to work around this crash by deleting the icon cache files in /var/tmp/kdecache-<user>/kpc
