Tim, Darrel, All,
Hell Yes! The nasty kwrite crash on line-wrap when built with gcc 4.7.0-x is _fixed_ when built with gcc 4.7.1! Damn I hate gcc transitions! To think about the time lost because somebody botched the latest and greatest update to the underpinnings for all software just boggles the mind. Not just on TDE, but globally, just think about the man-hours lost chasing bugs that ended up being due to a gcc bug.... Wow! Same thing happened with the update to 4.5.2 during the spring of 2011. Lesson - don't put out new versions of anything during the spring when gcc is likely to throw you a curve ball...
Regardless, kwrite is _working fine_! That gets a second *Hell Yes!*
Confirmed fixed on both i686 & x86_64 on Arch.

gcc 4.7.1 fixed a LOT of problems that were encountered with 4.7.0. Make sure that everything still works if you applied a patch for 4.7.0 :)
