This happens mostly on OS X, but also sometimes on Linux.
I finally traced this to <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">KGlobal::deref</code> reaching a zero reference count and invoking <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">QCoreApplication::quit</code> when called from one of KDevelop's KJob dtors. There does not appear to be a reference counting mismatch in the code, so the issue might be due to a race condition in KGlobal::ref/deref.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This patch introduces thread-safety to KGlobal's reference counting by turning the simple global <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">static int s_refCount</code> into a <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">static QAtomicInt s_refCount</code>. I consider this an important bug fix regardless of whether it corrects the issue I have with KDevelop.</p></pre>
