Bug in KDevelop KDE templates or KDE app framework?

[Pascal A. Niklaus]

This is a question to the KDevelop developers, and also to other users of 
the KDE application templates.

I first have to say that the KDE desktop and apps (2.1.1)  run very stable 
on my computer.

However, when creating a KDE MDI application with KDevelop, I get crashes 
when the program (the unmodified framework as created by KDevelop) is 
exitted with CTRL-Q. The crashes always occur on exitting the application, 
never before. I can cause these errors be repeatedly start the application 
with F9, and then quitting with CTRL-Q. The crash does not *always* occur, 
which also is weird.  Crashing seems to be associated with the destruction 
of some objects belonging to the app framework.

On the other hand, 'empty' apps created with the Qt MDI templates work 
perfectly.

My question are:
- Has anyone else experienced these crashes?
- Could this be related to the application template, or to some code in KDE?
- I always compiled KDE and qt from source. Is there special options I 
should have set when compiling?

Thanks a lot for any help !

The backtraces I get with the standard MDI app framework created by 
KDevelop, and with the same framework but the creation of the initial empty 
document commented out in main() are here:
