All I can suggest is to add printf()s in sipAddClassInstances() (in
siplib.c) to work out the instance that's failing.

Before the call to sipNewCppToSelf() print the value of ci->ci_name to
determine the class, then look up the table for that class in
registerClasses() in qtcmodule.cpp to find the instance.

The odd thing is that the relevant value is always the address of a Qt
object, which implies a linker problem.
