Actually, I found the answer and its really strange.
My home directory is a reiserfs filesystem. It had a corruption
in .kde/cache-kanger/http directory (where kanger is my machine name)
I think some attempt to access into this filesystem caused the system to crash
immediately. In the end the only way out was to run
fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree
on it.
