[PyQt] Simultaneous use of QVideoWidget/QMediaPlayer and QQuickWidget segfaults on macOS with PyQt5

Hi,

It appears that using a QVideoWidget and a QQuickWidget in the same PyQt5
application causes a segmentation fault on macOS.

The issue happens when a MediaPlayer connected to the QVideoWidget plays
the video with mediaPlayer.play().
This seems to affect at least PyQt5 with Python 3.6.2, 3.6.1, and 3.5.3 on
macOS 10.12. Both QVideoWidget and QuickWidget work fine when used
separately, which makes me think this could be either a Qt or PyQt bug.

Attached is a small test code that demonstrates the problem as well as a
core dump.
This issue only affects macOS as the previous code runes fine on Windows
and Linux

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
