Review Request 119498: Report crashes of KDE apps in Apple OS X (2)

Maybe that should be unconditionally done, who knows what the next fancy Linux 
DE would do.

From staring at the code I suspect that this has something to do with 
additional linebreaks in the lines. From what I see the input lines may also 
contain linebreaks, this is why the internal line map has holes in the key 
sequence. I suspect the crash you see is somehow related to if the last line 
itself has \n in it or not or something like that. Looks like this needs a 
unittest ;)
