Eric7 crashes unexpectedly

[Patrick Headley]

I did install eric7 into a virtual environment as directed.

I didn't check for error logs but the problem has been so consistent 
across multiple versions of OpenSuSE that I didn't care to investigate 
further. One thing that could be an issue is that I'm running Eric7 on 
VirtualBox virtual machines. Since I don't have problems with other 
applications I don't believe it's a VirtualBox issue but thought I would 
throw that out there.

If I get in the mood to test again I will look at the logs. But, for now 
I have uninstalled Eric7.
