           Summary: Kontact and components fail with on startup or during
                    work SIGABRT
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: luc.levain yahoo co uk


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.8 "release 22.3" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.13-0.3-default

Kontact, KOrganizer, KMail, and KAddressbook crash on startup with SIGABRT.

This started to appear after upgrading KDE from the standard OpenSuSE 10.3 repository to the KDE:KDE3 in the BuildService, which upgraded kdepim from 3.5.7.enterprise.0.20070904.708012-9 to 3.5.7.enterprise.0.20070904.708012-33.3. Downgrading to the old version does not help.

Removing KMail's kde/share/apps/kmail directory and config files allow it to start up, but the crash can triggered again by selecting "POP filters" or "filters" or checking for new mail.

(As the crashes appear only with applications dealing with personal data - KArm and Akregator work fine - I suspect either that the KDE upgrade changed or corrupted some config settings or vulnerable data, or the component of these applications responsible for dealing with PIM data is bugged.)

Here's a backtrace from KMail, from a crash (SIGABRT) after defining a new pop3 account and checking for new mail:

System configuration startup check disabled.

And here's one from a start-up crash (SIGABRT) of Kontact:
