Yes, I know, I had problems debugging it. But now I got it, at least I
think, I found the reason. 

KDbg shows, the assertion is triggered in

KTabCtrl::Private::showTab(int index)

index is 0, but obviously the array mPages is empty and
so index 0 bails out.

Seems like KTabCtrl::addTab() triggers an

emit selected(index)

in QTabBar::setCurrentIndex()

which leads to calling

KTabCtrl::Private::showTab(int index)

but before mPages has the new page added in KTabCtrl::addTab()

mPages[index]->setGeometry( getChildRect() );

then triggers the assertion, as mPages is empty at that time.

I think, this is something a core developer should look at.  I have
no clue if KBabel is doing something stupid here, but KTabCtrl
should at least check, if mPages is empty to avoid crashes.
