Binary package hint: kdebase-runtime

Don't know what I did specifically, maybe adding a new directory to Nepomuk/Strigi server configuration triggered this error.

Swapping duplicate status, due to better backtrace in this one.

It did not happen for me again, but somehow Nepomuk/Strigi is not active currently for me (I think).

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

According to upstream, this and similar bugs are the result of memory corruption (as evident by the failed malloc/realloc's), and could be the fault of any program and not necessarily the result of the functions called by the program, making the backtrace useless.
