"setup problem"? As in the installation? Or kdeinit5/thumbnail.so "setting up"
to use QT stuff?

If the issue was random in the sense that it would start to fail within 5 hours
of a reboot one time, and then 29 days after another reboot, I would be more
apt to agree with you on the "reliability" of the issue being produced... But
when it is happening pretty regularly around 11 days, even when my usage
varies, I'd call that pretty reliable.
I can tell you that I just upgraded today after seeing the coredump entries
starting on Feb 3rd, and the last time I upgraded/rebooted was on Jan 24th.
That would make it like 11 days.
I WOULD say it is not ideal in debugging/troubleshooting when you have to wait
that long for the issue to rear its ugly head.

I could always attach gdb to the process on like the 10th day and get a
backtrace or some variable data sampled at that time to see if something is on
its way out of bounds (about to cause it to freak out continually on the #th
day), but I'd need a bit more guidance of what is to be expected from me
(specifics, rather than the vague procedure I laid out) in doing this.

I'd be curious to know how you could see hardware affecting ONLY this
particular software in this manner (repetitive failures after #days).

What files does kdeinit5/thumbnail.so affect (config?) that I could possibly
just try renaming to get a fresh start (without just fully reinstalling
everything).
I think it would be obvious to say that thumbnail.so would create thumbnails
for files, but I doubt I would need to delete the thumbnail cache (which would
also be fine) since the issue isn't the display of thumbnails since it still
does, but rather the creation of NEW thumbnails after #days.
