In svn r13698:13700 it's fixed to free memory from the dep calculation before doing the unmerge. The patch doesn't apply to rc33, so you'll have to wait for the next release or else use an svn checkout to test it: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/testing.xml#doc_chap3
Still getting the same traceback/crash with r13700
Are you sure that it was executing the latest version (not 2.2_rc33)? The traceback should have looked at least a little different due to changed line numbers and file names.
I think so for some reason its saying its r13694 but I did a checkout of 13700. Also I should have said similar not same. chadgentoo trunk # emerge --version Portage 13694-svn (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 x86_64) chadgentoo trunk # emerge --depclean @kde-3.5 Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Checking for lib consumers... >>> Assigning files to packages... kde-base/kpersonalizer selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kdeprint selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/khotkeys selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kdesu selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves selected: 3.5.10-r1 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kooka selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/ksplashml selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kfind selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kdesktop selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kicker selected: 3.5.10-r1 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kcminit selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kghostview selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/libkscan selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kcheckpass selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/kmenuedit selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: none kde-base/kdialog selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 kde-base/libkonq selected: 3.5.10 protected: none omitted: 4.2.4 >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. >>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting... >>> (Control-C to abort)... >>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1 >>> Unmerging kde-base/kpersonalizer-3.5.10... !!!

I got this to work for some reason on my system 4GB of memory isn't enough to run this command. I added an additional 4GB of swap and now it succeeds.
Hopefully this is fixed in 2.2_rc68, by the following commits: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=c4fdf0e53398e4917c64901da626ced4c6357010 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=0faca588d881865be6eafc9b6401124bb927bee5 Please re-open if the problem persists.
