[Bug 287604] Re: kio_thumbnail takes up all the memory when a folder is open with a complex svg

[JunCTionS]

I'm working on a fully upgraded Hardy Heron (and anxiously waiting for
Intrepid to come out). I've seen this bug for some time now.

Tried it with Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5 LiveCD (the CD I had at hand) and it
does work.
So it's good to know it works on KDE4.
Is this likely to be fixed for KDE3?

Thanks,
Juan C. Tello
