I can reproduce this in the following way: - Connect to network using wvdial to control hspda modem and make sure that kded4 is running - Interrupting wvdial makes that process exit, but network connection is still on (pppd does not exit) - Kill pppd As a result of this, kded4 goes wild eating 100% CPU and I have to kill -6 it.
Only related messages I can find from logs are from syslog: May 2 20:37:39 temeo pppd[4827]: Terminating on signal 15 May 2 20:37:39 temeo pppd[4827]: Connect time 7.0 minutes.
