Let me clarify, because this is odd...

CONFIG_PREEMPT + CONFIG_SHAREPTE => OK

CONFIG_PREEMPT + !CONFIG_SHAREPTE => KDE crashes

!CONFIG_PREEMPT + !CONFIG_SHAREPTE => OK

Right?

Sounds like a timing issue to me. Any other errors? It is possible to
get a trace?

This sounds familiar, so do not think too hard without double
checking... someone else reported failure with KDE.
