Currently there is a bug in qtwebkit-2.2 that will cause to
go into an infinite loop. Though the bug has already been
addressed upstream in the qtwebkit-2.3 branch, it is not
available in the current stable 2.2 version.
Since it is not difficult for users to encounter the conditions that trigger this bug, I encourage distro packagers to apply the one liner fix I posted at http://pastebin.com/NqSrGBbb to their v2.2 packages. Note that the bug affects any application that uses qtwebkit if it encounters a specific kind of embedded SVG file. For details about this bug, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97258 https://projects.kde.org/news/177 |

Unfortunately current PKGBUILDs from svn/trunk and repos do not build because of missing source files / wrong links, so I can't confirm the patch right now.
