           Summary: crash in konsole_grantpty on MacOSX 10.2
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ranger at befunk.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.8)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc 3.1 (snapshot) August Developer Tools (from Apple) 
OS:          Other

Somewhere between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8, konsole no longer works on MacOSX.  Konsole starts up and shows a cursor, but it looks like a shell is never started.  If I revert the konsole portion of kdebase to the 3.0.7 (3.1 beta1) codebase, it works just fine, so it must be a recent change.

Unfortunately, the KDE crash handler doesn't play nice on MacOSX so I can't get a real backtrace, and konsole_grantpty exits before I can attach to it.

Is there any way to convince konsole to run konsole_grantpty under gdb?  I tried wrapping it in a shell script but that just confused it further since it couldn't get it's parent.
