  Well, KVIrc it's not part of what's now called KDE SC (software 
compilation), but rather developed by a separated group of people [0], anyway 
Mark is right. This looks like an upstream problem.

  Unfortunately the information you provide is not enough to file a new bug 
report against KVIrc [1]. It looks like an infinite loop starving machine 
resources. However you can provide more information answering these questions:
  · When do you experience the problem?
  · Do you have any automatic connection to servers on startup?
  · Could you try moving the KVIrc config dir which is usually ~/.kvirc or 
~/.config/kvirc elsewhere and retry? Whereever it works or not you can safely 
remove the newly created dir an move the old back to the original place, 
restoring your usual configuration.
  · Depending on your knowledge, could you try installing kvirc-dbg package, 
starting kvirc and then getting a backtrace of the loop. Hint: gdb -p $(pidof 
kvirc) and then bt from the gdb command line.

  Thanks for help.
