That does not sound right.
The most likely error when dealing with KConfigGroup is to forget to keep its 
KConfig parent object around. A KConfigGroup will crash if its parent is 
destroyed. In some cases you don't have to care about, e.g. because the 
KConfig instance is a global variable or otherwise very long-lived. In some 
cases you do have to care about it.
Does that apply to your use case? :)

Cheers,
Andreas
