Yes.

I know. Because of this theoretical impossibility I remember this crash at
all ;-) It's a memory corruption somewhere, but I didn't find it back
then. IIRC I debugged down to assembler level (having compiled without
debug infos), but all I got was confidence, that somewhen a parameter by
reference was pointing to garbage (which theoretically is impossible, as
the object was allocated on the stack), without finding a cause. I don't
remember if there was any dlopen() before. I don't even remember if it was
connected to styles at all (but I think so). I only know, that it was also
in QColorGroup/QBrush environment.

Currently on Solaris I only have a KDE compiled with CC, and here it's
not crashing there (although it's not the current HEAD).


Ciao,
Michael.
