>Description:
At some point, possibly all the way back to when I first tried KDE4, I started 
to see crashes in plasma-desktop.  Because it restarts automatically, however, 
fixing it was not a priority, but I did start collecting backtraces from core 
dumps.  One of these shows a problem in the resolver library:

Core was generated by `plasma-desktop'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use the KDE4 desktop on NetBSD current.
>Fix:
According to Christos, res_init should not be used in a multithreaded program 
program (which this is).  I do not pretend to understand the Qt code, but
res_init is called from QHostInfoAgent::fromName if local_res_init is set.
Preventing this variable from being set makes the crashes stop (for me at
least).  Besides, setting local_res_init seems superfluous since NetBSD
has res_ninit - which is thread-safe.  The following patch (to x11/qt4-libs)
 has worked well for me:

 The KDE4 plasma desktop crashes randomly.
