Well, if KMail crashes due to a bad setting in a *rc file it's probably a bug 
by definition.  And if you didn't mess up your kmailrc in the first place, 
then it was probably somehow KMail that did so, in which case it's definitely 
a bug.

So yes, please file a bug, and attach the various backtraces and steps to 
reproduce that you've encountered.
