This is just a wild thought, but is the crash going via the KCrash class? I have found, on Apple OS X, that Dr Konqi hardly ever runs and so you do not get a backtrace. The reason is that KCrash itself crashes when it attempts to close all possible file descriptors other than 0-2. The Apple OS X library has some reserved internal FDs and a second crash (SIGILL) happens if those FDs are closed at this time. Then KCrash breaks its recursion limit and Dr Konqi does not get run. That fact gets reported on stderr. Maybe Plasma has acquired some private FDs now(?). Or something else that could cause a secondary crash(?). Cheers, Ian W. P.S. If that is the problem, I have a patch. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
