Subject:   KDE3 eating up memory when opening Quick Browser->Root Directory menu.

I have installed KDE3 on a fresh FreeBSD 4.5 system, using the packages
downloaded from the KDE ftp site. Everything works fine unless I open the
Quick Browser->Root Directory menu. At that moment, top(1) reports that
kdeinit is very processor-intensive, and eats up slowly (progressively) all
the memory (I have 256 Mb RAM). The KDE bar is almost frozen, taking a lot
of time to react when the mouse is hovering over or clicks. I could Log Out
the session only using the desktop right-click menu. I have tried this on
another machine at work, in a FreeBSD 4.5 virtual machine running in VMWare
under Win 2k and it has the exact same symptoms.
Could it be that I forgot to to something, is it the way it has to work
(like building up a tree of the root dir when the tree is browsed the first
time), or is it an error in the packages ?

Thanks in advance,
Claudiu.

P.S. Please also reply at claus@saguaro.ro. Thank you.
