I picked on you because of the complete unjustified assumption that QT
caused a segfault on your system because it was written in C++.
And I've actually looked into that and discovered that there wasn't a
single valid segfault problem attributable to MythTV out of the 158
references I found on the mythtv-users list for the year 2007. When you
do an actual search most of the references come about because of the
previous/next discussion thread done by the mail list. It also turns out
that Google knows that a segfault is a Segmentation Fault, which it will
also search for.
I did discover that the ivtv drivers have caused segfaults. And that
corrupt MySQL tables can cause segfaults. And that if you manually go
around changing the libraries without matching them to the installation
you will cause segfaults, and if you do that the guy who wrote the
packages will chastise you.
