This crash also occurs on openSUSE Factory (12.2), so it would appear to be a bug in QT4 and/or py-qt4. It's likely to start hitting other distros as well.
I've managed to create a small python program that exhibits this crash. I've found that it doesn't matter what program is executed. My program uses xterm, but any program should cause a crash. This program segfaults on Fedora 16 and openSUSE Factory. It exits cleanly on openSUSE 12.1 which has older versions of QT4 and py-qt4.
