Thanks for the reply Joe. Here are a few lines of context around the segfault running konsole and konqueror from strace, as well as links to the full output: konsole: http://badcomputer.org/strace_konsole.txt [427K] write(3, "\22\0\0\10\0\240\0\5\0\0\1H\0\0\0\4 \0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0"..., 1044) = 1044 read(3, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\26\0\1A\0\240\0\27\0\240\0\27\0\240\0\n\0\0\0\0\1A\0\33"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\26\0\1C\0\240\0\27\0\240\0\27\0\240\0\n\0\0\0\0\1A\0\2"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\1\3\1u\0\0\0\6\0\0\0\0\0\4K`\0\0\0\0\20\23)8\0\0\0\0\20"..., 32) = 32 readv(3, [{"2>[EMAIL PROTECTED]|\0", 24}, {"", 0}], 2) = 24 write(3, "e\0\0\2\10\1\0\5", 8) = 8 read(3, "\1\6\1v\0\0\0\6\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\17\377\377\2526\200"..., 32) = 32 read(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 24) = 24 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- konqueror: http://badcomputer.org/strace_konqueror.txt [195K] lstat("/usr", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/kde", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/kde/3.5", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/kde/3.5/share", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0 access("/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps", F_OK) = 0 lstat("/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=8192, ...}) = 0 access("/home/bulliver/.kde3.5/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing", R_OK) = 0 stat("/home/bulliver/.kde3.5/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=642, ...}) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- kmail dumps this: kbuildsycoca running...

I am going to have to read the gdb docs a bit before I can figure out how to use it to get a backtrace. It certainly doesn't like the fact my binaries are stripped. Here's what I could come up with: $ gdb konqueror GNU gdb 6.6 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
