Comment 10 for bug 66830

I have also directly mailed to Phil Thompson (see below). According to him it is possible that the bug can be also in SIP.

SIP version in Ubuntu Edgy:

python-sip4 4.4.5-2ubuntu1 Python/C++ bindings generator runtime librar

SIP version in Mandriva 2007:

4.2.1 (see python/sip/ChangeLog in source tarball of kdebindings-3.5.4)

So it is also possible that recent changes in SIP broke it.

It is unlikely to be a problem in QSocketNotifier itself as this hasn't
changed. You don't say what SIP versions you are using.

You need to produce an small, complete example that demonstrates the problem.
