curious: on an affected system, if you delete 

	`kde4-config --localprefix`/cache-freedom/ksycoca4* 

do the crashes go away?

possible culprit commits:

	1a07fea2eaa69d571d5818812502edcc1d680d9c
	e91e5fed6b1aad365e12e919f430c3e8147552d3

neither are super recent, but they both touch the relevant code. there was one 
change to kmimetype by dfaure but it is not implicated by the backtraces nor 
can i see how it would be (it added a required method, did not change existing 
code paths and definitely not the ksycoca code underneath it)
