this script causes a segfault for me with latest SIP snapshot and PyQt

qApp.postEvent(k, QCustomEvent(QEvent.User))
del app
================================================

Is this a recent problem with current snapshots?

This specific testcase crashes also with older versions of SIP and PyQt (4.4 and 3.16).

I'm getting a serie of crashes, all related to QApplication destruction and event delivery, which never triggered before but now trigger with recent SIP snapshots. This is the first testcase reduction I made (they are pretty difficult to reduce!). I have probably at least another to report that I'm still reducing.

Is there a real use case (you'd never actually code the above)? Otherwise just remove the "del".

Yes, the real use case is an automatic testsuite. For each test, I need to create and destroy a new QApplication to start afresh. It kind of works in C++, but I have historically always had troubles with PyQt. A generic workaround for me right now is to put a qApp.processEvents() before app destruction, but I would prefer if the bugs were fixed (and I thought you preferred it too...).
