I am using opensuse 11.1 with KDE4 from Factory. Okular build is
kde4-okular-4.2.0-71.12.

It's the same on x86_64 on a totally different machine, and it makes no
difference if the PDF is stored locally or remotely on a Samba share.

In case you really cannot reproduce (which I seriously doubt -- you just
haven't tried), here's my version which works perfectly well: create a PDF
document with kile or any other editor of you choice along with pdflatex,
change it and re-compile it several times while it is opened in okular. Try to
close okular then. Watch what happens.

Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge to provide logs or anything useful
from a totally frozen system. I will try the kerneloops package.

<rant>I had to remove all KDE4 installations in the lab where I am responsible
for the computers. People are running Gnome now, because even with 4.2 the
desktop experience is a joke when I take everything into account. Gnome offers
everything and it works, while it takes us ages to get serious bugs fixed. Need
examples? Take this one, take the ridiculous printing situation (waiting for
Qt4.5), take the longtime Samba share bug (finally fixed now), take the
ridiculously lousy multi screen situation (partially fixed, issues remain, no
tool to set it up). Take many more. I am sick of trying to convince people to
wait because eventually the situation will improve.</rant>

It would really be nice, though, from a user's perspective, to get the feeling
people are finally trying to squash bugs like this in KDE.
