Aah, yeah that one is actually "well known" :) The reason it crashes is
that the import expects you to fill in the exact directory which should
be created for the project, i.e.
file:///workspace/trash/svnrepo/proj1/myproject

Of course it shouldn't crash, but I didn't yet get around to fixing
that.

Hmm, I don't have a problem getting a backtrace and I doubt that more
memory will help you there. The kde crash dialog is pretty slow/memory
consuming anyway (for no good reason IMHO), its better to either run
kdevelop with gdb by attaching it, or by letting it create a core file.
For that I'm starting kdev4 with a little shell script like this:

ulimit -c 100000
kdevelop --no-crashhandler

this disables kde's crash dialog and thus you get a core file. Then you
can start gdb on the core file and let it print a backtrace, which
usually is a lot faster.
