Is this still an issue in KDE 4.1.2?

[Alessandro Ghersi (alessandro-ghersi)]

No in 4.1.2

[Shinji (thorsten-reichelt)]

Sorry, but it still happens in 4.1.2.
I have upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and a lot of programs now crash with a "SIGSEGV in strlen()".
systemsettings is not the only one. Also affected are kdm and knotify4.

[Christian Prim (christian-prim)]

I can confirm this for Kubuntu 8.10 (up to date), also for knotify4.

[tomaggio (joli64)]

I can confirm this for Kubuntu 8.10, kde 4.1.3 too, also all system notification are involved (knotify crashes)
