I also tested kate - same crash! I don't know what Darrell is doing, he must be living right!

This backtrace is a bit different, the qt3 error I saw in kwrite appears masked for some reason?? Here is the kate crash backtrace:
This time I just opened an existing file in kate (my .bashrc). I was able to view it and resize the window, but when I started moving the cursor down the page with 'down-arrow' it locked up about 10 lines down. I don't think this backtrace adds anything, but it's short. The one thing that sticks out to me is the 'needWrap' variable. It may be nothing, but that seems to be common to the crashes:

IIRC, Tim, you said the undefined symbol stuff is normal?
I don't remember saying that. :-) The undefined symbols would explain why your backtraces are lacking TQt3 line numbers, without which debugging is nearly impossible.
If this really is a [T]Qt3 problem, you should be able to revert to an earlier version and the crash should disappear. However, I see nothing in the log that is close to the timeframe in question, and most of the patches for the past several months have been trivial:

I have not yet tried to replicate this bug on any systems here. You said you are running this in a VirtualBox session, correct? If so, be aware that I have run into "TDE bugs" (crashes) before that actually turn out to be VirtualBox bugs...
