Subject: Re: [Kde-pim] Frequent crashes - backtrace posting?

Ok - after collecting core dumps/backtraces for a few days I analyzed 78, and 
40% of the crashes are related to bug 126715 (posted one of my backtraces 
there already), and another 20% are related to moving mail between folders (i 
submitted bug 134702)...  [wow already received a patch for #1 of 134702].

I will be posting bugs for the next most frequent crashes.. but the killer is 
126715 - its experienced by many with heavy IMAP usage - ie. not just at 
Dainty Foods.

Other than voting for this bug, it there any way to escalate this?

BJ.
