[Konsole-devel] Bug#42441: konsole crashes on startup

[mike at sea-incorporated.com]

Package: konsole
Version: KDE 3.0.0 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                FreeBSD
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

When I log into KDE, I can open maybe 2 or 3 Konsoles.  After that, every time I try to open a new Konsole, it crashes.

Here is the backtrace:

When I try to start Konsole from an xterm, here is what I get:
aegean:~% konsole                                                     [11:27AM]

       : This means the session can be eavesdroped.

aegean:~%    


If I log out of KDe, then log back in, I can start a few Konsoles again before it crashes.

I don't think I'm running out of memory; according to top, I have 14M inactive RAM, 50M free, and 442M free swap.

Once they start crashing, if I close the Konsoles that are running, I can't even re-open them.
