--- Comment #1 from Saurav Sengupta <sauravsgs at gmail.com> ---
After quitting KMail, an instance of the kmail process remains running in the
background. Trying to start KMail again while this background kmail process is
still running causes the crash. If the background process is first killed
(e.g., killall kmail) and then KMail is started again, it starts normally.
Again, after quitting the newly started instance, a kmail process remains
running in the background, and so on. This happens every time.

Basically, after quitting KMail, no kmail process should remain running in the
background.

A workaround is to change the kmail binary executable to use a script instead
which starts the kmail binary, waits for it to end, then forcibly kills any
remaining kmail processes.
