I'm not sure if this is already fixed now (all people I asked confirmed it). 
If not, this bug is IMHO a serious issue and should really be fixed before 
release. If you click on such a link in kmail, it also freezes, so anyone can 
just make fun of people by sending them a mail with such a link. Same goes 
for web pages if you click on one of those links, or any other place in KDE 
where you can "run" a url.
