Package: kfm
Version: 1.1.1

This problem also appeared in version 1.0

KFM crashes when you try to open a file that does not have a default
program to handle the file.  It opens up a window asking you to type in
the command to execute upon typeing the command and pressing okay kfm
crashes and then automatically rebootes itself.

To fix this problem I modified a line 29 in the file utils.h
from:
void openWithOldApplication( const char *_cmd, QStrList& _urlList,
                             const char *_workdir=0L );
to:
void openWithOldApplication( const char *_cmd, QStrList& _urlList,
                             const char *_workdir="" );

ie _workdir=0L was causing the strlen in libc to crash simply changing
the value to a empty string solves the problem.

Hope you find this usefull.

I am using a Sun workstation with Solaris 2.6

Adios,
