Updates to kdelibs3 or Aha, I knew something was wrong!



	It's now quite public, but you can check
	http://dot.kde.org/988663144/ to see that a new version of
	kdelibs3 is released, that covers a security hole.

	It also fixes something I suspected a few days ago, but that I
	could not isolate well enough to report here: a memory leak in
	Konqueror.

	Browsing some pr0n sites (which actually put your browser
	under quite a good stress test), I noticed that Linux started
	swapping like mad, but I didn't know the cause. After some
	more browsing, er, investigation :-), I identified that the
	reason might be a possible memory leak.

	This memory leak also seems to have evidenced another memory
	leak: it *seems* that Linux 2.4.4 also has a memory leak
	(memory which was allocated on swap after the Konqueror thing
	didn't get back even *after* I went to the console using
	single user mode!).

	So, it's nice to see this nasty bug fixed. :-)
