To confirm that this is what's happening and to prevent it from happening in the future, you can configure Konqueror not to perform this optimization:
Konqueror -> Settings (Menu) -> Configure Konqueror -> Performance (last category in the list on the left)
In the "Preloading" section set the "Maximum number of instances kept preloaded" to zero.
Let me know if doing this solves the problem.
Randall, I was hopefull this would be it but unfortunatelly it didn't help at all. Repeating the same steps as before I end up getting the same error messages in /var/log/messages. I could not find any 'safe' method to get a rid of it but reloading the laptop. If this was for me I would not care but it is for my mother and she wanted to have memory stick mounted (she does not know anything about mounting ;) as a folder in her home directory. The only way for her to transfer files back and forth is to use konqueror. I was also thinking to upgrade to 9.2 but not sure this would be safe and helped at all.
