Beta 2 question - Seg Fault

[Eric Rouse]

The system is more or less 'Out of the box' for Mandrake 6.0, it's running
on a Compaq 300mhz with 128meg.  Let me know what other details you need.

Here is the gdb transcript:

Hi!

Yes, I know it's very annoying when KDevelop segfaults "without" any reason.
:-(
Sometimes these are compiler/libc problems, sometimes KDevelop bugs.
Unfortunaly we can't reproduce these segfaults on our machines, so we need
your help.  It follows a step by step introduction how to locate segfauls
and send us the needed informations.

-please compile KDevelop with "./configure --enable-debug;make;make install"
-enable core dumps in your /etc/profile, for instance "ulimit -c 30000"
-let's KDevelop crash :-)
-load the core file into your favorite debugger and send the backtrace and
  your system configuration to this mailinglist or
kdevelop-team at barney.cs.uni-potsdam.de
