Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 2.95.2 OS: Linux In compiling kmailcool 1.6.1, kontact 0.1 and kde-i18n-es, I managed to freeze my computer. It was spectacular with kmailcool (less than two minutes and I had to turn him off), but also in the other packages are some files index.docbook (namely doc/kalarm/index.docbook in the kontact release) which put xmllint in an endless loop, in which more and more memory is used. For testing purposes, I compiled kontact with kde3rc5 without problems, so it's a problem with the new xmllint.
What version of libxml2 do you have? This sounds like http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51023

Not all people had the coredumps, the endless looping is definitely the same bug. Upgrade to 2.4.29 or better, where it's fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51023 ***
