[katepart crash] Critical bug in KProcIO/KProcess?

Hi,
katepart is notified for every external modified file. It then pops up a
dialog, where you can click "View Differences", which will open kompare
then. Then sometimes, katepart crashes.
How to reproduce:
1. open kwrite
2. open an empty file FILE
3. go into the konsole, and type echo "" >> FILE
4. activate kwrite again, and click "View Difference"
My backtrace is attached.

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107556 (maybe)
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109644 (maybe)
Katepart uses the following code in kdelibs/kate/part/katedialogs.cpp:
void KateModOnHdPrompt::slotDiff()
{
KProcIO *p = new KProcIO();
p->setComm( KProcess::All );
*p << "diff" << "-ub" << "-" << m_doc->url().path();
connect( p, SIGNAL(processExited(KProcess*)), this, SLOT(slotPDone(KProcess*)) );
connect( p, SIGNAL(readReady(KProcIO*)), this, SLOT(slotPRead(KProcIO*)) );
setCursor( WaitCursor );
p->start( KProcess::NotifyOnExit, true );
uint lastln = m_doc->numLines();
for ( uint l = 0; l < lastln; l++ )
p->writeStdin( m_doc->textLine( l ), l < lastln );
p->closeWhenDone();
}
Explanation of slotDiff():
We first want the output, so we use the signal readReady().
*After* this, we think processExited() is emitted. So m_tmpfile is not NULL
in slotPDone, because it is created before in slotPRead. This works in 90%
of the cases.
void KateModOnHdPrompt::slotPRead( KProcIO *p)
{
// create a file for the diff if we haven't one allready
if ( ! m_tmpfile )
m_tmpfile = new KTempFile();
// put all the data we have in it
QString stmp;
while ( p->readln( stmp, false ) > -1 )
*m_tmpfile->textStream() << stmp << endl;
p->ackRead();
}
void KateModOnHdPrompt::slotPDone( KProcess *p )
{
setCursor( ArrowCursor );
m_tmpfile->close();
if ( ! p->normalExit() /*|| p->exitStatus()*/ )
{
KMessageBox::sorry( this,
i18n("The diff command failed. Please make sure that "
"diff(1) is installed and in your PATH."),
i18n("Error Creating Diff") );
return;
}
KRun::runURL( m_tmpfile->name(), "text/x-diff", true );
delete m_tmpfile;
m_tmpfile = 0;
}
However, the backtrace shows, that slotPRead() is not called, but only slotPDone.
so m_tmpfile is NULL, and katepart crashes.
The problem seems to be, that KProcIO does not emit readReady() in time, if
the process finished almost immediately after it was started (that's why I
wrote in step #2 "en empty file", so that the diff is very short). Maybe
it does not emit readReady() at all in this case.
Question: How to fix this? This affects all apps using katepart (Kile, Quanta,
KDevelop, Kate/KWrite etc...) and all apps using KProcIO in this way.
I'm not sure, if my explanation is correct, but it would explain the backtrace.
The bug is 100% reproducable for me in KDE 3.5.
Greetings,
Dominik
