    Well, an arbitrary web page need not be sufficient. Apparently, the web page
    needs to contain JavaScript to make konqueror crash. Also, when JavaScript
    is disabled in konqueror, it works normally, so I assume that it crashes on
    an attempt to execute JavaScript.

    Done. Evidently, if the cputime patches:

    cputime-introduce-cputime-fix.patch
    cputime-introduce-cputime.patch
    cputime-missing-pieces.patch

    are reversed, konqueror works fine again on 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 (verified on two
    different systems).

    I have created a bugzilla entry for it at:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3675

    If you need any more information, please let me know and I'll post it there.

    Greets,
