Dolphin hangs and quickly comsumes available memory

[Barry Strong]

Binary package hint: kdebase

After right clicking on a mp4 video file that is between 1.0 and 2.0 GB in size and then clicking on properties Dolphin and Konqueror will hang and then quickly consume all available memory. This does happen on files of several hundred MB and does not happen on files larger than 2.0 GB not does it seem to happen on other video file formats. It does not matter if the file is local on a cifs share. If it is on a cifs share when this happens it also uses all available network bandwidth. I have KDE 3 on on the cifs server and can view the properties on these files there with no problems. My system is running fully updated Kubuntu 9.10

Hi Barry!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
