Yes, definitely.

Could you please disable the automatic start of simond within Simon
(Settings > Configure Simon > Recognition > Start / stop server with
simon (I think the name is slightly different in 0.3)) and start a
separate simond instance in a terminal through gdb?:
$ gdb simond
$ gdb> run
Then connect with simon and simond should crash again. Because of gdb,
you won't see any error message yet, but the server connection should
just "hang".
Switch back to the gdb shell and enter:
$ gdb> thread apply all bt

Please then open up a new bug on bugs.kde.org and attach the full log
from that terminal (including the full simond output leading up to that
point).

(You can then exit gdb with the "quit" command)

Thank you.

Yes, that is correct.
