--- Comment #34 from Thomas Lübking <thomas.luebking em gmail.com> ---
Ok, let's fix the bug status then - this is not "minor" at all.

----------

The problem here is that QByteArray::fromRawData() is "implicitly shared" with
the provided POD and that QByteArray::split() will basically just "return
QList<QByteArray>() << *this;" if the BA doesn't contain the split parameter
("\0"), so you get a QBA List that only contains the QBA with the shared POD
... which is freed before the return.
So we need an explicit deep copy of the QBA in the list instead.

Some compiler/parameter combo apparently does not only free() but also
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the first 16 bytes of the freed data, but the data is in
general invalid and can take any content any time.
