kwin crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I've been playing around with "compiz --replace" and "kwin --replace" to get compiz working and had somehow three kwin processes running.
Sending a normal "kill" to two of the processes, caused a segfault with both of them.

Is this still a problem with Hardy? (Could you test with KDE 4.1?)
