I am sorry to say that my exprerience has been different.

There is a simple test case, as well as a full back-trace. The bug is
still present in the latest version of konqueror, though :-(

This is not to say that providing simple test cases is pointless, it is
just the lone case when I actually submitted this kind of bug report.

Bye.
