Crash when during build

[Julian Rockey]

I've just investigated a KDevelop crash I was experiencing during the build 
process.

Anyone know of a possible bug in QMultiLineEdit in QT2.3.1?

I figured (a) all KDevelop is doing during the build process is catching 
output from KShellProcess and writing it to the QT message widget and I 
noticed (b) the crash seemed to occur when a long line (g++ etc. etc) was 
output to the message box. So as an experiment I recompiled KDevelop adding 
the following lines into the COutputWidget class constructor:

setWordWrap( WidgetWidth );
setWrapPolicy( Anywhere );

This causes the text to wrap in the message box. Result: no crash (and the 
crash had been consistent before. Even after a straight re-compile.)

So if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem and don't mind wrapped 
text they might want to try this.

The crash happened with KDevelop 2.0 and KDevelop 1.4.1, running on either 
KDE2.2 or KDE2.1.2. So QT is definitely high on my list of suspects.
