Segmentation fault when running a very simple Qt application compiled in 'release' configuration

[Dmitry Pankratov]

Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, libqt4-dev 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1.

Running a very simple application that is built with 'release' flags causes SIGSEGV.

GDB stack trace:

Attached is a tarball with a project that causes this issue.
I have tested it on two independent computers both running the same OS version.

Can be closed as 'Invalid'. The problem is wrong application design.
