  I can't reproduce now with KFind from KDE 3.3. I've search in /usr for
  files which contain the text "hello". (File Type: All Files & Folders,
  Include subfolders checked.)

  the UI does not freeze, and the resutls panel is incrementally
  updated. the "Stop" button works at any stage of the search.

  can anybody confirm?
