Konqueror sigabrt crash when browsing files

[Robert Shaw]

Binary package hint: kdebase

I've recently upgraded to KDE4 and konqueror crashes with a SIGABRT signal everytime I try to browse anywhere on my filesystem. I can browse the internet reasonably well with no crashes. The crash happens when I click on the Home folder link that first appears when konqueror is opened and when I try to browse to a folder by entering the location in the address bar. A similar crash also happens when I click on Settings -> Load View Profile -> File Management but with a slightly different trace.

Trace from clicking on Home Folder link on first page:

Is this still an issue for you? I just tested it following your instructions and it works fine for me. Thank you though for adding how you caused the crash initially, just wish a lot more people did the same :)
