I have found, on Apple OS X, that Dr Konqi hardly ever runs and so you do n= ot 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 Kon= qi 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 unsubscrib= e <<
