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

[Victor B. Gonzalez]

I have flash-plugin version 11.2.202.236, on Fedora 17 64, using KDE 4.8.3. I 
was really happy that disabling cache and probably switching webkit to KHTML 
helped *but* this morning, after resuming from a suspend, I switched from a 
sub-folder that contains this mailing list to my inbox and Kmail crashed with 
a segfault 11.

I just wish rather than crashing some really mean things were written to a log 
or something instead. I give full permission to use profanity in my logs if 
necessary. I just wish using Kmail didn't feel like using beta software, it's 
probably my 2nd most important application of all time :(
