OK, thanks. I will try to reproduce the error in days to come. It’s just that I’ve never (in several years) seen Kate do anything like this. It’s darn stable.

Run away program.

Question how to trigger it again.

I have seen Kubuntu to equally strange things to me. Most likely mmap_zero event has happened because kate could not allocate memory. Something else most likely filled memory and got done in by OOM-killer.

Yes still a bug in kate. Kate should handle out of memory better and not tried to unallocate never allocated
