Hi, i prepared simple script, which:
1. restores ~/.opera (rsync with another 700MB directory)
2. starts opera with no tabs
3. measure CPU utilisation of opera
4. sends ABRT, wait, and send it again
5. copy crash report
6. kill all operas
7. goto 1



Now i have about 200 crash reports, and about 100 of them
have this problem with high CPU utilisation. (in top it is 85%,
in ps it is about 50-60^).

I have posted another post but it is awaiting moderation (it have 26KB)

Where to send this crash report files crash*.txt ?
I can provide them to trusted Opera developer using my HTTP server.
It is 90MB uncompressed now.
