Unsolved Crash while drawing text ?

[Cranberriess]

Hi all,
There is a crash in our embedded linux system. We analysed the core file generated, and here is the output of core file ;

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

We examined that the painter is NULL in frame 6 while it is not NULL in frame 7 ;

I suppose, there are two possible causes of this corruption, one of them is related to the third party library, Qt ( the version we use is 4.8 ), the other one is related to the our source code. We will be investigating the problem from the point of our source code. Could you please analyse the problem, and give us feedback about the possible reasons ?

Thanks,
