Michele, Slavek, All,
   I just ran across a new bug on openSUSE Tumbleweed where the sftp_kio is 
completely broken. I suspect this is the result of the new openssh package and 
perhaps option changes, etc...
   It's no little issue, attempting to connect in konqueror, kate, kwrite, 
etc.. with sftp://host/path/to/whatever -- coredumps.
   This slunk in sometime in the past week or so along with new versions of 
openssh. I don't have smoking gun evidence it is openssh -- but that is my 
best guess based on recently updated packages. Tumbleweed has openssh-9.8p1 
built last Friday.
   Let me know if you see this in TDE, and if you don't, be on the lookout for 
it when openssh updates.
