Ok, I've got it. It looks like it's necessary to create a QApplication 
beforehand.  I still think it's weird that it Segfaults.

This works (well, at least it doesn't crash):
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import *
>>> from PyQt4.QtGui import *
>>> qVersion()
'4.2.3'
>>> app=QApplication([])
>>> p=QPainterPath()
>>> p.addText(QPointF(0,0),QFont('Times',10),'a')
>>> 

Is this a PyQt bug? a Qt bug? or most probably my bug?
