Nah the unix guy is suffering from a bug in X and or in the protocol handling of KDE in general including Konqueror / kmail / file dialog boxes / etc... Long title bars are one way of triggering this. I have posted a few times on this... xterm --title b0fhere may crash your box if you have the bug in X. If its a bug in Konqueror / KDE protocols try making an html file with AAAAAAAA... a few thousand times as the <title>AAA....</title> and open it. -KF MegaHz wrote: >check this guy out, > >================================================================ >From: "Simon Dickson" <simonat_private> >To: <costconat_private>; <bugtraqat_private> >Cc: <eurohackat_private> >Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 7:22 PM >Subject: Re: buffer overflow, using greek characters, AGAIN! > > >>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >>Hash: SHA1 >> >>I dont know about IE, but I checked your test page in Konqueror 3.0 and it >>killed everything. >> >>By everything I mean X crashed.
