Yes, I'm on master (updated this morning, and I still get the same
problem). Maybe I have some libraries that are too old, I'll check on a
machine with a more recent Ubuntu when I get the occasion.

Thanks for your help, anyway!

Just to follow up with some more details:

In my current setup (Python 2.7.3, PySide 1.1.1, Qt 4.8.2), the Qt backend for ipython doesn't block. Also, when I run ipython with the Tk backend I can't reproduce the segfault, but it does block.

I'm not sure why we see different behavior, but I've had enough PySide issues to guess that it's the likely cause. I am however, running a dev version of IPython, so there maybe some changes there as well.

Best,
