QtWebKit segfault on javascript alert()

Thijs

I have an extremely simple demo program, but it crashes reliably on a javascript alert() :

@
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtWebKit>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QUrl url;
url = QUrl("http://mytesturl.com/");

QWebView *view = new QWebView(&#41;;
view->load(url);
view->show();

return app.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@

it loads this html:

@<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-type">
<title>QtWebKit crash</title>
</head>

<body>
[script type="text/javascript"]
alert("welcome");
[/script]
</body>
</html>@

ps. replaced the brackets around the script tags with [ and ] , otherwise it gets removed...

After clicking the "ok" button on the alert box, it always results in a SIGSEGV (Segmentation Fault). In Qt Creator (debug mode) I can see:

@Dump of assembler code for function QScopedPointer<QObjectData, QScopedPointerDeleter<QObjectData> >::data(void) const:

Is this a known problem. If so, how to solve it? If I disable the alert() line, it will not crash.

I'm using Qt Creator 2.1.0 (based on Qt 4.7.1 / 32 bit, Windows XP)). The fancybrowser demo doesn't appear to crash on this example, but it does crash on another test I have.
