I reported it last Sunday to bugs.kde.org and was told that a fix was in svn. It hasn't seemed to trickle down yet, I guess. I noticed that the problem has changed, so I DO hope that this is not the alleged fix. Formerly, one could click followup to newsgroup and write a nice post, the try to send and the program would crash and poof, all your work in writing the post vanished with it. Now, it crashes as soon as you try to right-click followup to newsgroup, so at least you don't write a post for nothing.
