Hi!

It's not actually a kdevelop-related question, but your are the guys, who
actually use Qt every day and so know most of it's bugs.
Is it a known bug, that printing with QPrinter into PostScript printer gives 
always a broken pipe error? Tried with Qt 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.1.0-19991009. All 
ended in Broken pipe. Printing into file does the right thing.
BTW Qt-s drawdemo example crashes the same way as my program. I'm using RedHat
6.1. If answer is positive, then does anybody know workaround for this problem?

Last things strace tells me are:
write(6, "\n%%Pages: ", 10)             = 10
write(6, "1", 1)                        = 1
write(6, "\n%%DocumentFonts: ", 18)     = 18
write(6, "\n%%EndComments\n\n", 16)     = 16
brk(0x80c5000)                          = 0x80c5000
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
brk(0x80c7000)                          = 0x80c7000
brk(0x80c9000)                          = 0x80c9000
brk(0x80ce000)                          = 0x80ce000
brk(0x80d0000)                          = 0x80d0000
brk(0x80d3000)                          = 0x80d3000
write(6, "% Optimized Qt prolog\n", 22) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
--- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) ---
+++ killed by SIGPIPE +++
