           Summary: DigiKam crashes on start-up
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dbhsatx at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

On start DigiKam the splash screen displays "scanning images in individual
albums". After aproximintly 45 seconds a crash screen appears with,

The application digiKam (digikam) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT).

When I click the details check box this is the output,

This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents
creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in
the crash.

Ran DigiKam from terminal and this was the output,

david at fam-lpt:~$ digikam
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
KCrash: Application 'digikam' crashing...

This problem occured on Kubuntu 9.04 beta. Did a clean install of Kubuntu 9.04
release and downloaded & complied DigiKam before loading any other software.
DigiKam worked fine. I was able to connect to my digital camera and load
pictures to the computer. Later, loaded a large collection of pictures (2 gig)
from backup to default picture folder. Downloaded and compiled the R5U87X
webcam module from http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/ (the only to get the
webcam working on Sony Vaio VGN FZ460E computer). Downloaded and installed
Skype to verify the webcam was working. Started Amarok to verify and load music
collection. 

When I started DigiKam I received the above error same as with the 9.04 beta.
