I use SuSE 7.1 and Kate is also very unstable. Often it crashes when I 
dare to split views, so much that I avoid doing that. I am not sure if 
the backtrace would help as a bug report because other than it is not 
very easy to describe a precise sequence to reproduce the problem.

But back to the original subject, I am very surpised of how much memory 
Kate eats from the system. For instance, just loading a 8Kb text file, 
makes Kate take 15Mb or RAM. Why does it take so much memory? What is it 
doing with all that memory? Of course once real memory is exhausted it 
starts using virtual memory and everything becomes tad slow.

I wonder if this helps.
