[PyQt] core dump in pyqt application

[Iván García]

Currently the app uses python threads, not pyqt threads, could this be 
the reason?

The only thread I'm having now is a logging function:

        self.setTitleBarText("Trying to login...")
        try:
            if self.OSDBServer._login(username, password) :
                if not username: username = 'Anonymous'
                self.setTitleBarText("Logged as: %s" % username)
            elif username: #We try anonymous login in case the normal 
user login has failed
                self.setTitleBarText("Error logging as: %s. Logging 
anonymously..." % username)
                if self.OSDBServer._login("", "") :
                    self.setTitleBarText("Logged as: Anonymous")
                else:
                    self.setTitleBarText("Login: Cannot login.")
        except:
            self.setTitleBarText("Login: ERROR")


The only interaction of the thread with the pyqt GUI is the 
setTitleBarText where it changes the title of the Main App Window.
