[PyKDE] eric3 preferences traceback, coredump on FreeBSD 5

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

sorry to hear this. Don't send the core files. Please open a terminal 
window and enter

strace eric3

After that you get a bunch of output. Repeat your steps to crash eric and 
send me the last couple of lines of output before the crash. Maybe you 
send the whole output (please compress it).
