[PyQt] eric4 segfault after upgrading to SIP-4.7.6/PyQT4-4.4.2

[Darren Dale]

This morning I updated SIP to version 4.7.6 and PyQt4 to version 4.4.2 on a 
64bit gentoo linux system. When I launch eric4, I get a segfault that looks 
like it is originating from QScintilla:

I checked the types of self that is passed to QsciLexerPython.__init__(self, 
parent). self is <class 'QScintilla.Lexers.LexerPython.LexerPython'>, looks 
like that is what eric4 expects. I tried reinstalling qscintilla and eric4, 
there was no change. Can anyone confirm this? I installed PyQt4-4.4.2 and 
eric-4.1.4 or the eirc-4.2 snapshot on windows, on that system eric4 runs 
without a segfault.

Thanks,
Darren
