Problems with KMail filters

I'm giving KMail a spin, and I seem to get this problem
where I create a 
filter and try to apply it to all the messages in my folder
and selecting 
them, then pressing ctrl+j, and it keeps on giving me a
segmentation fault. 
The odd thing is after I reopen KMail and do that again, it
works just fine 
(no crash or anything).

Oh yeah, here's the backtrace:

I can confirm this. Happens also when trying to expire a big
folder. I don't 
do that often so I don't get the crash often. That's why I
never looked 
deeper into it.

The answer to this is almost certainly the same as that for
deleting or moving 
huge numbers of files - do them in batches.  I find that
trying to process 
100 messages causes a crash.  Processing 50 doesn't.  I
don't know where the 
limit is, but I think I got as far as 70 being OK.

It would be nice to know what version & flavour this
happens on !
I am using Kmail 1.8.2 on SuSE 10.0 and don't seem to have
this 
problem. However I don't keep any HTML mail at all ! If this
matters.

This is KMail 1.9.6.  I think that I only encountered that
after upgrading to 
this version.  Part of the problem is the difficulty in
tracing bugs, and 
part is the fact the kde4 is just around the corner.  Most
kde applications 
are undergoing re-coding, which should deal with the
problems caused by 
legacy code and hard-to-trace bugs.  For the moment, if you
do have the 
problem, my solution will probably help you through.  kde4
is something 
definitely to look forward to.

I don't know about that. I went from 3.5.5 to 3.5.7 and now
have only a 
semi-functional KDE. Of course, that could have been caused
by the Xorg 
updates, too - they like to hard freeze my computer when I
exit from an 
X session.
