crashes in KDevelop

[Nick Savoiu]

At times KDevelop crashes but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to reproduce the crash (see two such crashes below). Just the traces are not always enough to determine the problem but sometimes they do lead to an "Aha!" and a bugfix.

What's the recommended way to handle reporting of such unreproducible crashes? Bugging them seems heavyweight.
