Can be reproduced with karmic and kde netbook desktop.
No crash occurs with gnome.

Call stack:

<signal_handler_called>
fork_exec_with_pipes (glib2.0-2.22.3/glib/gspawn.c:1199)
IA__g_spawn_sync

fork_exec_with_pipes creates a new process kde4-config.
scite obviously gets a signal (which signal?) when this
new process terminates (?) and fails in the signal handling
with SIGSEGV. This explains why the stack below
IA__g_spawn_sync is not always the same (sometimes
the crash comes a little later).

There seem to be other packages affected by the same kind of
bug, just look for fork_exec_with_pipes.
