If I am to blame for this, the parallelism introduced in the asynchronous
find dialog is my suspect, rather than the comet regex (which was actually
Hy and not me). The regex seems unlikely to cause the erratic behavior
Robert is observing where it runs fine under a debugger.
But if it works fine when running KStars from a command line, that probably
exonerates me and Hy, and is likely an environment issue like Robert points
out!

Akarsh
