[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#588542: knetworkmanager segfaults shortly after startup

[Jaap Winius]

Package: network-manager-kde
Version: 1:0.9~svn1141976-1

The KNetworkManager (knetworkmanager) application crashes shortly
after the KDE desktop has started up, producing a segmentation fault.


Backtrace:

Application: KNetworkManager (knetworkmanager), signal: Segmentation fault
[KCrash Handler]
#6  0xb644349d in QDBusMessage::arguments() const () from  
/usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4

This segfault occurs frequently, but not consistently.


Specific config info:

The workstation on which this problem occurs includes support for MIT  
Kerberos V, OpenLDAP and OpenAFS, with home directories residing on  
the network. IPv6 support with the wide-dhcpv6-client package is also  
installed. To this end, I've added the following to  
/etc/network/interfaces:

     auto eth0
     iface eth0 inet dhcp
             post-up /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client start
             pre-down /etc/init.d/wide-dhcpv6-client stop

Note that this configuration was added primarily to enable network login.
