Yes, the problem is still there and it's not konqueror-specific -
apparently these kdeinit processes are just component loaders ( for
things like the cookie management service ) and apparently they like to
run amok now and then, even on x86 machines but that seems pretty rare.
I didn't have any real deadlock recently though. It probably is a thread
problem but that's just speculation on my part. One typical symptom is a
stacktrace that begins somewhere in libpthread but ends in an
inaccessible memory range pretty soon. This happens in lots of programs,
apparently randomly and usually they just crash. No idea why these
kdeinit ones keep spinning.

have fun
Michael
