This doesn't look like the same crash report as bug 1005677, which crashes calibre and other qt4 apps. But, when I do the workaround for that bug,

   LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 calibre

then I can't reproduce this crash, either. So it may be related. I don't have a clear picture yet.

Fabrice, does that workaround change this behavior for you?

Thanks.
