kbuildsycoca4 assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4: corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000025c9e70 ***

[Jan daciuk]

When I logged in for the second time after having upgraded Kubuntu to Natty, a notification window popped up, and clicking on the icon brought this bug report. When I had logged out the previous time (the first time after the upgrade), clicking on "Leave..." in the pop-up menu on the desktop did not show any shutdown menu at all (no reaction), nor was it possible to leave by clicking the main KDE menu button on the panel and then clicking Quit. Perhaps that provoked the error.
