Maybe running the Qt test suite would isolate the issue. Someone once suggested that I should run the gdb test suite to try to find signal handing issues, but I found gnat to be totally impenetrable. I'm sure it would be easier for a native build, especially with debian's build tools to assist. (Even better would be a test run on real hardware...)
