Actually, the other day I found a situation under which I could reliably reproduce the
crash. After auditing our HTML output, and fixing "<font >" to <font>" in one place, the
crashes stopped. I don't have KDE 3.1 though so I am unable to see if maybe this
was the result of a recent KHTML change or the result of my code.

Can anyone using KDE 3.1 make KHTML crash using the DOM adding method now?

( To enable DOM adding, just change the #if KDE_VERSION > 0x030100 lines in 
libkopete/ui/chatview.cpp to always execute, and rebuild / install libkopete )

I don't see how the document can be null though because we initialize it
in the chatview constructor?
