Michael, thanks for the fix!

Unfortunately I haven't had any time to look at the problem myself (nor to do any other KDE-related work, I'm very busy with school ATM), but I'm thinking it might be some kind of a race/locking issue. Most methods use the lockfile to ensure that there's only one KPC object accessing the data, but there might be some that aren't yet should be.
I'll still be busy for the next two weeks but after that I'll look into the problem and make some kind of a fix before the 4.1 final.

And I had a quick look through the code to check if there might be some other alignment issues. I didn't find any (although I might of course have missed it).
