Hi Daniel, 

First, I tried several times, but was unable to repeat the bug.
Then I realized that I have too much free RAM  ( I have 128Mb RAM and no swap
partition);  I started several programs until ktop reported , that  60Mb used
for "Programs" in it's Memory Usage History.

I started kmail  1.1.50, 
ktop  reported that  kmail used  20Mb - in Memory column , 15MB - in Resident
column, 14Mb in shared column.

then  composed new mail , attached  mp3  file,  which  size is  5 Mb  ;
 after making attachment  ktop  reported that  kmail used 
27Mb in Memory column ,   21Mb - Resident , 14Mb - Shared.

then pressed the "send" button , kmail crashed,   
ktop showed  for kmail  :  50 Mb - Memory column,  31 Mb - Resident , 
14 Mb - Shared

When receiving e-mail with attached file (size = 6 Mb ) from local inbox,
the same happens -  kmail takes  30 Mb more memory & crashes.


The last output to konsole , after making attachment was :

*** KMail got signal 6 (Crashing)
kmail: KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
kmail: KCrash: Appname = 0x81d1ef8 apppath = (nil)
