Application: kbuildsycoca5 (5.6.0) KDE Platform Version: 4.14.4 Qt Version: 4.8.6 Operating System: Linux 3.18.2-2-ARCH x86_64 Distribution: "Arch Linux" -- Information about the crash: - Unusual behavior I noticed: kbuildsycoca5 tried to open desktop files in ~/Downloads ~/.PlayOnLinux ~/W101 which had an infinite loop of symlinks in them so I had to chmod those directories to 000 to avoid them recursing into them and filing up all 32GB of RAM, It would be nice if there was an option to tell kbuildsycoca5 what directories not to search. The crash can be reproduced every time. -- Backtrace: Application: KBuildSycoca (kbuildsycoca5), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Created attachment 92676 [details] ~/.config/menus/applications.menu ok, after some digging in the source I figured out that it crashed when it was trying to read the 2 LegacyDir tags in this file. when I got rid of one, it froze, when I got rid of both it worked. I deleted the 2 as neither of the 2 directories exists on my system
