It's the only fully-featured open-source embedded browser.... But it 
ain't so tiny. :-(  About 12 MB by the time you add up Qt/E and 
Konq/e....  But it compiles, and runs (well, mostly - except for this 
issue...)

That doesn't explain why it runs from the command line and not from init....

I've tried that, as well as sticking in sleep() after each fork in 
konq/e, to see if it was that...

I am beginning to suspect that it may be something with busybox httpd 
closing the connection before konq/e is ready for it...  Just from 
watching it, the crash happens about the time the httpd child goes away, 
a second after the flash movie starts.  Why it would only happen from 
init I don't know....

I'll follow up on this on the konq list - but if someone could point out 
where I might try to stick in a sleep(1) into httpd to delay the closing 
of the connection I would be very grateful...
