This in indeed the well known bug in Qt, that causes sometimes freezes. This 
finally has been fixed in Qt 3 you however can't use together with a stable 
version of KDE yet.

Well, I can't tell you from the backtrace, where this function is called.
At least in KDE we anyway usually use more save data types like QString where 
you simply can do:
QString astring, bstring, cstring;
astring = "hello.";
bstring = astring;
cstring = astring + " " + bstring;
