Hi, I've found what was causing the problem. KDE 4 exports the variable MALLOC_CHECK_=2 when it starts. According to the glibc docs [1], this variable enables heap corruption checking and with the value 2, it aborts when such a corruption is detected. Setting this variable to 1 before opening subtitleeditor makes it work and outputs this to the console:
*** glibc detected *** subtitleeditor: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000cc8e80 *** Setting the value to 0 it works without any further problems. I hope that the next version will not have this heap corruption, so that KDE4 users can run subtitleeditor without having to export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 before starting it...
