Application: kate (3.14.6)
KDE Platform Version: 4.14.6 (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 4.8.6
Operating System: Linux 3.19.2 x86_64
Distribution: "Gentoo Base System release 2.2"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Opening an /etc/hosts file on a remote server via sftp.  The host is reachable via ssh and can be browsed with konqueror using the same sftp:// url.  Other files on that server open successfully.

Using nano within the server to add a blank line made the file openable.  Using kate to remove the blank line then saving and closing, made kate crash again on open.  ???  Some weird content clash?

I am saving a copy of the un-openable hosts file for later testing.  The copy as "hosts.1" also cannot be opened by kate, even when moved to a local filesystem.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Kate (kate), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
