[Kwintv] kwintv crashes with latest qt3-rpm from suse (but not with the previous rpm)

[Barry Voeten]

Hello kwintv mailing-list and SuSE support.

For your information only, the following. It may help those after me.

Suse has released an update of qt3.05, a .92 build for available at
'online update' as upgrade from the .64 build on the suse8.1 dvd.
The newer version crashes kwintv version 0.8.11 immediately after executing it.

See crash details below. I solved the problem to revert to the previous qt3 rpm. Kwintv version details further below. 

If you need any more info to help you find a closer cause, let me know.
Thanks to both the SuSE and kwintv teams for your releases!
Barry
