Konqueror freezes in google

[Tal Eisenberg <eisental@012.net.il>]

Hi, I'm using KDE 3.1.1 on debian sarge and today without any apparent reason 
konqueror stopped working with cgi forms (such as searching google). 

The only thing I did today was upgrading libpam and installing libpam-dev 
which I don't find very relevant. I started it with strace and apparently 
after clicking on the search button konqueror started calling brk() without 
ever stopping each time with a bigger pointer such as:

....
brk(0x1ff20000)                         = 0x1ff20000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff20000
brk(0x1ff2c000)                         = 0x1ff2c000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff2c000
brk(0x1ff39000)                         = 0x1ff39000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff39000
brk(0x1ff45000)                         = 0x1ff45000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff45000
brk(0x1ff51000)                         = 0x1ff51000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff51000
brk(0x1ff5e000)                         = 0x1ff5e000
brk(0)                                  = 0x1ff5e000
....

Is there any fix for that? Do you know what happened? 

TIA, Tal.
