Review request for kdelibs and Kevin Ottens.


Summary
-------

If a someone calls "delete job" on a slot connected to the KJob::result() signal, KJob crashes because the job does not exist anymore when execution comes back to KJob::emitResult(). I added a guard to prevent that. An alternative would be to call deleteLater() before emitting the signals but I was afraid it would cause trouble if slots connected to the emitted signals used event loops.


This addresses bug 241562.

Testing
-------

Wrote a unit-test to demonstrate the problem. This also helps with bug #241562 although I have another request prepared to hopefully definitely nail it down.


Thanks,
