I've recently experienced several segfaults with Kate while editing and all of the are reproducable every time. The last one is editing a plain text file. What I did was to remove most of the text and then I could write letters but as son as I hit space or enter Kate segfaults. If I instead save the file after deleting some of the text but before I hit enter or space Kate freezes. I only have a backtrace of the segfault. Unfortunately I couldn't find a package with debugging symbols for libQtScript.so.4.
I'm using Kate Version 3.13.0
Using KDE Development Platform 4.13.0

I've attached the file that causes the segfault. I delete all the text except the first word and start to edit when it segfaults.
