This is just a wild thought, but is the crash going via the KCrash class?
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.
