Hi

kcontrol segfaults on a heck of a iconloader use at

kdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/mainwidget.cpp#20

So, I changed the code in order to use the new kstddirs:

  pmap = ICON(locate("icon", "kdekcc.xpm"));

It still dumps core.

The traceback shows that it breaks in

kdelibs/kdecore/kiconloader.cpp%loadInternal(),

but it shouldn't. The QString constructor there gets a constant char* as
argument and has NO reason to segfault. Anyways, if it had, it should
segfault on all loadIcon() calls, which is not the case. What the heck? I
start to have had enough of this.
