Showstopper with kweather

I've just run into a bug which IMHO is a showstopper for kweather.  When
either A) you drop offline or B) weather.noaa.gov is unavailable,
kweather will cause kicker to consume 100% cpu and become unresponsive. 
The ONLY solution at that point is to KILL the kweatherservice process
which restores kicker and CPU.  There is already a bug filed for this. 
Bug #: 49191 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49191).  Kweather
needs to be more forgiving if it can't connect to the weather service. 
IMHO, if it fails to update, it should either A) show the previous
report or B) show the question mark image to show that it wasn't able to
update.
