Yes, please do. Excellent stuff - that for all the investigating. And you've 
even found out why it didn't happen with QMap. I'll have to read up on what 
using Q_GLOBAL_STATIC is all about.

We've had trouble with Qyoto crashing on exit too, and I wonder if it's for 
the same reason. I assume we still have the problem of embedded QtRuby code 
in kross crashing, and the unexplained memory corruption of Ruby Plasma 
applets though.
