Hi,

For now the best information would be a full stacktrace of the crash.
You can build a debug version by passing -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE ="Debug"
when configuring, then build, install and reproduce the crash. If the
stacktrace will contain debug information even DrKonqi will let you
report the bug or you can just send it to this list.

Regards,
Cristian
