I have discovered a little bug in K Desktop 2.1.2 that crashes your X Server.

By using the konqueror web browser and inputting around 9000+ A's (or 
whatever) into a search box (for instance www.yahoo.com's web search box) - 
this will crash your X environment.


i reported this problem some month ago to the kde team. They suggested me to
report the issue to the XFree development team. I did it but i never obtained
a reply. Probably the problem was fixed in the while.
