This just confirms it - XFree 3.3.6 didn't have Render yet, that came only 
with the 4.x series, that's why you have the problem. 

Some other people here already confirmed, that the problem goes away, when you 
disable antialiasing in Qt and recompile it. 

I guess, that the bug is in Qt's handling of antialiasing, it does not fall 
back to non-antialiased mode when Render is not available and crashes the 
application.
