--- Comment #3 from Michael Pyne <mp...@kde.org> ---
Bleachbit overwrites the cache instead of simply unlinking it, which is what
causes the crash. There's not much I can do here because the cache is
persistent so it must save its accounting data within the file itself, which
Bleachbit then corrupts, leading to crashes almost instantly.

This type of bug has been reported before, my understanding was that the
Bleachbit devs had configured the software to leave things like
/var/tmp/kdecache* alone by default but I'm not sure (and I'm sure it's still
possible for user to override). See Martin's blog post from nearly 4 years ago
now to see how long this has been going on
