[PyKDE] PyQt Segfault - Stack Dump

[Albert.Anderson at mscsoftware.com]

I have a similar problem under SIP 3.3/PyQt 3.3/Qt 3.0.4. I haven't solved 
it, though. I don't know if it's a SIP/PyQt problem or a Qt problem.

I think you will find that the focusData() list is corrupted or has 
corrupted objects in it. In your case, looks like the QWidget destructor 
is scanning the focusData() list and finding a QWidget supposedly at 
address 0xffffffff. No wonder Qt has a problem finding this object's 
parent.

In my case, I see crashes when using tab to change the keyboard focus. 
This leads to a similar scan of focusData(), and crashes when focusProxy() 
gets called on a non-existant or corrupted widget.

The corruption must happen sometime previously, but I don't know when. It 
seems related to deleting widgets/items associated with a table. In my 
case, I'm deleting and recreating the entire table. As far as I can tell 
by watching reference counts and using prints in __del__ methods, the 
deletions are happening as expected at the python level. This is supposed 
to clean up the focusData() list. Somehow either the cleanup isn't 
happening or the list/objects are being overwritten in some other way.

That's as far as I've gotten. Hope that helps.
