Well, see this link: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&aid=870369&group_id=94447&atid=607962
I've already found this error and submitted patch ;-)

ok, I see that someone already told you what to do...

Simply go to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=870369&group_id=94447&atid=607962
and download/apply the patch.

This problem will be fixed in the next future of KInk, that
will be released soon.
