Many duplicate reports

Summary :
« since the update to KDE 4.8.1, kmail has become very unstable here. it is crashing all the time for no apparent reason, sometimes when opening local mail folders with some thousand mails, sometimes simply when scrolling through a list of mails, and one time while i was writing a new mail. »

A patch (for kdelibs) is attached in upstream bug : http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=69550
The patch was applied in Fedora 16 packages, Ubuntu PPA packages and it seems to fix the bug :
« I applied the patch to my 4.8 branch build and so far no crashes. I could of course just be lucky. »
« Looking good.. I updated my kdelibs to 4.8.1-2.fc16.x86_64 which has been patched and I have had no crash at all, Kmail has been running for over 8 hours now. »
« i've rebuilt the kdelibs packages from kde4libs_4.8.1-0ubuntu1~oneiric1~ppa1 with this patch added, and kmail2 seems to be running stable again. »

KMail 4.8.1 in Arch is currently barely usable.
I have got a dozen of crashes in a morning.
Is it possible to apply the patch in Arch packages ?

Thank you very much.
This task depends upon

I'll apply it when upstream applies it.
