Kmail on 4.8.3, Fedora 17 is constantly closing due to a segfault 11

[Victor B. Gonzalez]

It looks like you might be on to something. I don't load the external 
references automatically so I decided to go click crazy in the pattern I 
usually find myself crashing Kmail and it didn't crash.

I am guessing this is a known bug, any workarounds or is it being addressed 
and possibly fixed? I've got new ammo to google, thanks!
