Well, an arbitrary web page need not be sufficient. Apparently, the web page
needs to contain JavaScript to make konqueror crash. Also, when JavaScript
is disabled in konqueror, it works normally, so I assume that it crashes on
an attempt to execute JavaScript.

Done. Evidently, if the cputime patches:

cputime-introduce-cputime-fix.patch
cputime-introduce-cputime.patch
cputime-missing-pieces.patch

are reversed, konqueror works fine again on 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 (verified on two
different systems).

I have created a bugzilla entry for it at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3675

If you need any more information, please let me know and I'll post it there.

Greets,

Reversing theese fixed my konqueror issues to. In 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 , konqueror
would crash instantly when I tried browsing a webpage ( any page ).

Ok thanks. I will leave it to Martin to figure out.
