So the crash is caused bye SIGILL - means Illegal Instruction, CPU throws
these signals in case it doesn't know an OP-Code. F.e. MMX-Code would give
SIGILL on 486.

Reinstalling the same binaries won't help. It doesn't look like but seems
that kdenetwork is compiled with some special optimization flags not
supported on AMD K6 CPUs.

Try apt-get -b source kmail. To build the binary deb yourself from the
source packages.

Probably. Maybe the deb is ppro optimized what wouldn't work on K6 or
something similiar.
