I tried various sizes, from 35 k up to 5 meg, I'll try some other file types
tomorrow.
OK, I found the trigger on this box and this bug report led me to the
cause/fix:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333778
In Settings, Configure Kmail > Composer > Attachments. The checkbox "enable
detection of missing attachments" was not checked, it always used to be. This
config causes the crash.
Enabling this option the crash so far does not happen. Tested with various
sizes and multiple attachments.
I had never seen this before as I always had this option selected.
So to summarise,
Checkbox not selected - crash adding attachments
Checkbox selected - No crash adding attachments
