Well ... it's getting worse. Tonight I couldn't view
Slashdot at all for
several minutes. Something on the front page was killing
Konqueror as soon
as the page started loading. At one point the crash
couldn't even produce a
backtrace - the crash handler displayed a message saying a
stack corruption
prevented a valid backtrace from being produced.
It's gone away again now.
I've hunted around at bugs.kde.org, and similar crashes
abound in Konqueror
3.3.2 - in which KJS seems to be a common feature. e.g. :
http://bugs
.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94934
http://bug
s.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107400
http://bug
s.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102632
http://bug
s.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109964
From the comments by the bug handlers it seems nobody is
going to want to look
further into my problem - a common response is "upgrade
to 3.5.2 and see
whether the problem's still there".
Oh well. Might have to switch to Firefox till Etch gets
released :(
PS: some of the bug reports talk about needing backtraces
with debug symbols,
or using debug builds ... can anyone tell me how one might
do that ?
