This seems to be a bug in the SSL certificate handling, not directly related 
to any applicaton using SSL based connections [1].

It might be a regression introduced somewhere in the KDE 4.3 series, i.e. I 
don't remember it happened when using 4.2.x

Which version of KDE are you using, on which distribution?

Cheers,
Kevin
