Hi, I recently had exactly this error.
It was a problem with new QT lib and old plugins lying around (e.g. plugins of 
an old qt lib, or the libkdewidgets from an old KDE compile).
uic always SEGFAULTed when running it per hand.

Solution: Remove the old plugins.
Is the way QT handles plugins really the right one? I think there should never 
be SEGFAULTs with old plugin versions. Perhaps it's only my setup.

Yes, together with the error printing. I'm not sure how this is done with 
shell pipelining (and a SEG FAULT of one program of the pipeline).
