konsole repeatedly blows up with an unuseable backtrace

[gabriel]

i'd report this to bugs.kde.org but the crash handler tells me that the 
backtrace is no good.

here's the deal:  i'm runing multiple konsoles with the dark transparent 
schema.  one on the right side of the screen is rather narrow and is on every 
desktop, while i have another one with multiple tabs spanning the rest of the 
screen on desktop 3 (i have 6).  and occasionally, about twice a day in fact, 
konsole just blows up -- often when i'm not even using it.  but only one of 
them blows up, and it's _always_ the bigger, multi-tabbed one on the left.

this doesn't happen at home, where i keep my box running for days at a time, 
only here @work.  here's the specs on my work box:

	System uname: 2.4.26_pre5-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+
	Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13p1
	Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3
	Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.2
	CC="gcc"
	CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe"
	CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe"
	CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

i'm running kde 3.2.1 with alsa on an asus board with an nvidia chipset and 
graphics card, and here's the backtrace if it's of any use to anyone:

so if the backtrace is no good, how else can i help the kde folks fix this?  
or is this my bad somehow?
