KDE login fails with NIS user (Suse 9.0)

Hello I ran into a very strange problem where KDE login crashes with signal 11 butonly when trying to login as a NIS user. It does not matter whether the home folder is on local disk or on a NFS mount point. Local user logins works just fine. Both the client and the server runs on Suse 9.0 and I have same setup working on another location. Any idea what might cause the crash? Cheers, -- --Jyry C|:-( C|:-/ C|========8-O C|8-/ C|:-(
