When does it crash? When you call connect()? When the signal is delivered?

I don't think that this is the problem. SIP supports the use of typedefs in 
signal arguments - see sipFindSigArgType() in siplib.c. As they are not used 
very much I think the problem is more likely to be a bug in that function.
