I can't reproduce now with KFind from KDE 3.3. I've search in /usr for
files which contain the text "hello". (File Type: All Files & Folders,
Include subfolders checked.)
the UI does not freeze, and the resutls panel is incrementally
updated. the "Stop" button works at any stage of the search.
can anybody confirm?
