There isn't a lot I can do without a test case. It is quite possible to
write Python code that causes a segfault - you can't assume that it's a
SIP, PyQt or Qt bug.

The fact that disabling the garbage collector changes the behaviour
suggests that you might not be keeping an explicit reference to something
you need to.
