[PyQt] Qwebview crashes almost always when entering Facebook apps

[Gelonida Gmail]

I have now an even simper version of my program, which still crashes.
However today it crashes less often than before. There is some random
factor involved.


# Error description:

# After starting the script a login screen shows up
# (email address and password field in the top right corner of the

import sys
import platform
import PyQt4.QtGui as QtGui
import PyQt4.QtCore as QtCore
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebView

print sys.platform, platform.release()
print QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR,QtCore.PYQT_VERSION

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
webview = QWebView()
urlstr = "http://apps.facebook.com/be-heroic"
webview.setUrl(QtCore.QUrl(urlstr))
webview.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())


I wrote also an equivalent C++ version, and managed to crash it
(though I had to try over 10 times before I got a segfault)
The C++ version is

#include <QtGui>
#include <QtWebKit/QWebView>

#define urlstr "http://apps.facebook.com/be-heroic"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

    QApplication app(argc, argv);
	QWebView *webview = new QWebView();
	webview->load( QUrl(urlstr));
	webview->show();

    return app.exec();
}

The related project file for qmake is
CONFIG += qt
SOURCES += webview.cc
TARGET = webview
QT += webkit

Will now look, where I can post the Qt bug
