It seems that Qtella runs on Mandrake systems very unstable. I haven't found the problem yet but on other system (SuSE, RH) Qtella runs for days and weeks.

Maybe it runs more stable when you run it as root (I know that's not a solution but it would be nice if you could test it) or try to build Qtella without KDE support with "./configure --with-kde=no".

By default debug flag should be set but you can set it with "./configure --enable-debug" explicitly. The additional option "--enable-qdebug" writes a lot of output to standard out. Maybe this could be useful, too.
