           Summary: Konsole crashes on startup
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: agtsai at uci.edu


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc-3.2 
OS:          Linux

Konsole crashes if $PATH in .bash_profile contains a non-existant directory.
Ex: PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH, but there is no /bin in $HOME.

I guess the blame may be put on the user, but handling incorrect $PATH declarations this way seems kind of inelegant.

Even stranger, from previous bug reports it appears that Konsole isn't even supposed to read .bash_profile, or ignores it.

General Tab:
The application Konsole (konsole) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

When I call konsole from ETerm, I get this:
$ konsole
