Bug#347946: akregator segfaults at start

[Andrew Smith <asmith@14inverleith.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi
I'm new to RSS and have not had any problems with akregator,  and have 
been pleasantly surprised by its ease of use.
I'll need to dive into the code as I'd like to add a "mailto" facility  
in each article tab.
