Just a faint possibility, but do you also have libsafe installed?
According to libsafe, there's a buffer overflow in a memcpy() in
kio_http that only seems to reveal itself when kio_http is in SSL mode.
I've been trying to track down exactly what's going on for some time
but I don't have a lot of time or skill at debugging C++.
If libsafe is installed it will terminate the kio_http process whenever
it comes across this overflow, which is frequently, giving exactly the
symptoms you report. Check /var/log/auth.log for messages about this
from libsafe.
If you do have libsafe installed, the workaround is to uninstall
libsafe. :-/ Not ideal, I know, especially if you're a little
paranoid.
It's bug 30043 in the KDE bugs database ( http://bugs.kde.org ) if
you're interested.
