Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeedu

Kubuntu Karmic Koala, 9.10, beta

kstars 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1

kstars crashes, on the splash screen, with "kstars assert failure: *** buffer overflow detected ***: kstars terminated" message. I've tried to install kstars on my netbook (9.10 beta) too, and it crashes in the same manner.
