[PyKDE] seg fault using pyqt

[Nicholas Priborsky]

hi,

I am having troubles getting PyQt 3.5 to work.I'm running SuSE 8.0 with 
gcc 2.95.3, sip 3.5, qt 3.1.1, python 2.2.2. I built python, sip and 
pyqt from scratch the usual way and everything compiled ok (for lib 
qt-mt). Unfortunately I always get a segmentation fault when running any 
of the examples contained in the examples3 directory of the pyqt 
distribution.

python -d -v tut1.py
