Okay, while I grant that you probably know more about KDevelop's innards than I
do, I remain skeptical of this claim. Again, I note that the crash occurs on
the first execution within a pristine environment. If the *root* problem is
cache corruption, that implies that something produces a bad result, writes it
to disk, *reads it back* in the same instance, and causes heap corruption as a
result, yes?

> Valgrind is not the only tool ...

Yes, I know, but it has the significant advantage of not needing to recompile
the application being tested. (Or its dependent libraries, which IIUC may be
needed for *san tools. And, especially if the problem relates to a Fedora
patch, getting a build that actually has the problem may be challenging. That's
not to say I won't possibly try that eventually, but not until I'm confident
that valgrind can't help.)
