Okay, thanks. As far as backtraces go that looks like a pretty crappy one. I 
mean I doubt there's a bug in the constructor of QString which means the bug 
is elsewhere in some other place we don't know about, which is a bummer.

I'm really going to have to cvs update myself and see if I can reproduce the 
problem hopefully I can.

Unfortunately I want to do some development rather than debug problems in the 
libs. I spent a couple days of this easter already working around bugs in the 
libs or working out how to reproduce them and I want to get some development 
on new features done today. 

It would really suck if after 6 solid days work all I've achieved is to stop 
KMail from going backwards.

So I probably won't update until tomorrow or later today. You could read the 
man page for cvs and update to a previous version of kdelibs (like 5 days 
ago).

Not certainly, maybe 95% probability that it's in kdelibs, (this is written 
on the assumption that qt-copy is stable now, most of the KMail instability 
problems have historically been due to bugs/changes-in-behaviour of qt rather 
than kdelibs).

BFN,
Don.
