OK, some points:

- Bram is doing a great job looking at incoming bug reports. If the backtraces match, it is almost guarenteed that they are the same bugs.
- We don't insist that this is a FreeBSD problem, it was rather a guess.
- If bugs are reported against different versions, they are still marked as duplicates if they have not been marked as fixed. After all, they are the same bugs
- Same happens if two identical bugs are reported with two different operating systems, they are the same bug. In this case, it is an external gpg process which hangs.

>the need for developer attention is being excused at every turn
>[..]
>Noone has any evidence of any work being done it by the developers
Where did we make excuses? The unfortunate fact is that there are very few KDEPIM developers, who don't find the time to look at bug reports.

>I request this issue be given a higher priority and more attention
See above, it does not get attention because we don't have enough developers for it. Nobody uses bugzilla's priority field anyway.

>The difference in versions is also highly significant. 
I doubt that. It is the same old bug, apart from the crash when maximized, which probably is another issue.

>My guess is that 147358 was never resolved in the earlier version of kdepim.
Right. Resolved bugs are marked as RESOLVED/FIXED :)


I'll leave this bug open because you say that the system crashes when KMail is maximized. I don't know if this is related to the deadlock when viewing signed messages.
Does KMail always hang when being maximised or only when an signed message is viewed? 
Also, it seems strange to me that the whole system hangs, an application shouldn't be able to cause this.
