I haven't received the task # yet, seems they have to accept it and send you a 
return email.

After more testing I'm pretty sure my patch fixes the problem, the other crash 
seems to be unrelated(though likely still a qt bug, since the same version of 
my software doesn't crash with qt 4.2.2, and I have over 50 full time users). 

I discovered it through lots of printf statements, some unsuccessful valgrind 
sessions, lots of time in gdb, and some more time looking through my code and 
qt's:)

I have a python(pyqt4) script attached that tests for this case.  It detects 
the error before a crash results.  It runs fine every time on qt 4.2.2 or 
patched 4.3.3, but errors every time with vanilla 4.3.3.
