[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#385198: various kaffeine crashes related to HyperThreading

[neologix at free.fr]

Package: kaffeine
Version: 0.8.1-3

Hi.
I'm experiencing various random crashes under Kaffeine: when closing the window,
changing the audio track when watching a dvd, opening a media, etc.
I'm pretty sure this instability is due to the fact I'm running a P4 HT box. I
rebooted on a kernel with HT disabled, and kaffeine didn't crash.
What gave me this idea is that I already had problems with Amarok, until they
decided to bind it to only one CPU if running on a HT processor.

For a more details concerning HT stability issues, cf:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99199

Maybe it's a compiler issue, or a kernel issue, maybe more likely a glibc issue.

Anyway, it would be great that this HT stability problem could got more
attention

cheers,
