Well ... it's getting worse.  Tonight I couldn't view Slashdot at all for 
several minutes.  Something on the front page was killing Konqueror as soon 
as the page started loading.  At one point the crash couldn't even produce a 
backtrace - the crash handler displayed a message saying a stack corruption 
prevented a valid backtrace from being produced.

It's gone away again now.

I've hunted around at bugs.kde.org, and similar crashes abound in Konqueror 
3.3.2 - in which KJS seems to be a common feature.  e.g. :
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94934
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107400
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102632
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109964

From the comments by the bug handlers it seems nobody is going to want to look 
further into my problem - a common response is "upgrade to 3.5.2 and see 
whether the problem's still there".

Oh well.  Might have to switch to Firefox till Etch gets released :(

PS: some of the bug reports talk about needing backtraces with debug symbols, 
or using debug builds ... can anyone tell me how one might do that ?
