No insight to speak of why it happens, but it does sound like the issue I ran 
into recently too. IIRC, adymo managed to reproduce it, but not apaku. 

A hunch says it's somehow related to the KProcess running inside konsolepart. 
IIRC, I noticed it did not happen if I loaded a non-c++ project, which might 
suggest it's a similar problem as the one apaku ran into recently with the 
qmake manager, where the use of QProcess and KProcess in the same program 
made one trample the signal handler of the other.

C++ language support uses QProcess with header file preprocessing these days, 
and konsolepart uses KProcess. I suspect it's a bad idea to mix them.
