This has been a problem for me for over a week in CVS now. From what I
understand, any kde apps requesting file io calls on kinit. For instance,
kio_file is called by kinit when konqueror is first launched. As soon as
kio_file is launched it dies with a segfault. kio_file doesn't even have a
change to spit out to kdDebug that it's starting. Consequently, kdesktop,
konqueror, kfile, and several other functions fail to work for me.

Here is the backtrace for 'kdeinit: kio_file':

-------------------------
(gdb) bt
#0  0x40a33121 in ?? ()
#1  0x40a43359 in ?? ()
#2  0x408c9fbb in ?? ()

---------------------------

This is actually a backtrace from a CVS done last Friday, however, newer
backtraces show very simular results.

I am running an enhanced RedHat 5.2 system with glibc 2.1.2, egcs-2.91.60,
and XFree86 4.0.

- Mark.
