I will soon be going to Kitware in October, assuming my visa is processed. Exciting times, and great to work for open source friendly companies. Congratulations!

I spoke to Thomas (the KMail maintainer) and he said he hasn't personally seen this bug. KDEPIM is very good at getting Review Board looked at.

So even if I was able to write a fix, it'll probably rot there as well...

I've never seen that crash personally and I guess none of our guys see it regularly either or they would have fixed it by now. Kontact is used heavily internally and people fix crashes when they find them. I'm sorry that you're having problems but it looks like a relatively tricky bug to reproduce. Have you considered having a look at the code yourself? KDAB do lots of things and KDEPIM is a significant proportion of our OSS work.

But please tell me: What is KDAB actually doing? Whenever I read anything about KDAB, it sounds like you guys mostly work on KDEPIM apps. However, since Kontact crashed every second time on startup ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193514 ), I find it hard to believe, as you must've encountered that bug, be quite annoyed by it yourself and fixed it months ago.
