Can anyone here try to run kwrite under kcachegrind, open a kcrash file,
and post the results?  This will help us figure out what section of the
code kwrite is "stuck" in.

Here is a quick tutorial:
valgrind --tool=callgrind kwrite
<open the kcrash file, wait for it to show up in kwrite, then immediately
close kwrite>
Then post the generated callgrind.out.<pid> file to this list.

Thanks!
