Comment 2 Hugo Varotto 2002-04-07 14:50:20 UTC
According to a mail saw in the KDEVELOP mailing list, RedHat missed a patch to
the QT library in QCommonStyle. Looking at the trace, it seems that the crash
happened inside QCommonStyle::drawControl  Could this be the reason ?

I'm attaching the e-mail that mentions that.

Checking RedHat's Qt3 RPMs, looks like they didn't apply
a patch to Qt that prevents divide-by-zero crashes in QCommonStyle,
and the BT looks exactly like that bug..

I am somewhat inclined to close this, myself, but since this is in KDevelop 
land I'll leave it as it is...

Thanks,

Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-04-08 10:42:39 UTC
Which version of Qt are you using? I'm not seeing this with 3.0.3-7

Comment 4 William Shotts 2002-04-08 23:27:41 UTC
skipjack beta 2 contains qt-3.0.3-6

Comment 5 Ben Levenson 2002-04-09 21:15:25 UTC
I'm also unable to reproduce this w/ 3.0.3-7. Closing as RESOLVED:RAWHIDE.
