This doesn't happen everytime I click the Save button, but it's happened several times since I upgraded to KDE 3.5.1. Here is the backtrace: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

That backtrace is not useful because it's from the crash onward. Can you try to reproduce by adding -ggdb to your C(XX)FLAGS and splitdebug to FEATURES, then running kwrite from konsole giving: ulimit -c unlimited kwrite --nocrashhandler then when you have the core file, attach the log generated by gdb `which kwrite` \ --core name-of-the-generated-core-file \ --batch \ --quiet \ -ex "bt full" \ -ex "quit" > kwrite-backtrace ?
No feedback, if this is still a problem with the latest KDE version, feel free to reopen.
