From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-14 i686) Description of problem: kdeinit generates repeatedly core files, probably on every shutdown (file date is that of shutdown time) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. change /etc/profile so that core files are generated ulimit -S -c 1000000 > /dev/null 2>&1 (I will submit this as a separate bug. It's no solution and bad practice to forbid core files. The old behaviour as in RH 7.1 should be restored.) 2. Shutdown and reboot, see core file in $HOME Additional info:

Hi I have the same problem however I am quite sure kdeinit crashes during logout and not shutdown (I can see core file after I logon from text console after previous logout from kde). My guess is that this may be related to sound - during logout kde plays logout sound but I can hear it is cut off - it looks like kde kills the process hich is playing this sound. Tomek
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs. Closing as "CURRENTRELEASE" for now.
