Probably not, depends on the version of KAlarm that you're using. But more 
likely than anything else is that something didn't quite compile right when 
you were emerging whatever KAlarm's parent package (kdepim?) is. I've had 
that happen with other things such as xine-lib, and I've discovered that if 
something keeps crashing re-emerging it (or its parent package, in KAlarm's 
case) usually fixes the problem. And, a SIGFPE is the sort of thing that a 
build problem would be the cause of.

General rule of thumb: If it crashes, rebuild it. :D
