Package: kfm (kioslave)

Version: 1.1.1, and 1.1.1-pre2

This is a kfm HTML document that causes a kioslave to go AWOL. It sets a kioslave to \
read a non-existent file, and the kioslave freezes.

</HTML>

To demonstrate this

1) type: ps gaux | grep kioslave | wc -l

2) Press the key "F5" to reload this page a few ( save five ) times.

3) repeat 1, the difference in wc is the number of kioslaves that crashed.

This is a problem because having a large numbers of kioslaves seems to slow the \
system down, and can cause XFree86 to crash with a error claiming that there are too \
many X clients.

Details: I have tried this using KDE versions 1.1 and 1.1.1 on RH5.2, and on RH6.0 \
(kde-1.1.1-pre2, kernel 2.2.5-15 ). It occurred on all these systems.
