Phil, suggested FAQ entry:

<h2>Running PyQt</h2>

<h3>I have SuSE and my PyQt programs segfault. Why?</h3>

<p>
SuSE guys compile their Qt copy with a feature called "fast-malloc"
enabled. This affects Qt memory allocation, and meddles with PyQt.
Please, export the <tt>KDE_MALLOC</tt> environment variable this
way:
</p>

<code>
export KDE_MALLOC="n"
</code>

<p>
Place it in your <tt>~/.profile</tt>. This should solve your problems.
