segfault with small pyqt script

Hi Guys,
I'm desperate. I'm having a real application, which fails rather often
when finishing it. I'm not sure, whether any serious problem could be
hidden behind it

The script is a pyqt script, which segfaults most of the time on my
ubuntu 10.4 linux 64 bit and I'm having trouble to understand why.

Trying to create the smallest possible test case I ended up with
following script, which I named dodo.py and which i made executable with
chmod +x ./dodo.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
from PyQt4.QtGui import
QDialog,QGridLayout,QLabel,QComboBox,QPushButton,QApplication
a = "one"
b = "unused"
c = "also unused"
d= "ans also unused"
e = "another var"
f = "something"
class MyForm(QDialog):
    def __init__(self,parent=None,config=None,ini_info=None):
        super(MyForm,self).__init__(parent=parent)
        grid = QGridLayout()
        quit_btn = QPushButton("Quit")
        quit_btn.clicked.connect(self.quit)
        grid.addWidget(quit_btn,0,0)
        name = "a_name"
        vals_box = QComboBox()
        vals_box.addItem("one")
        vals_box.addItem("two")
        grid.addWidget(vals_box,0,1)
        self.setLayout(grid)
    def quit(self):
        self.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication([])
    myform = MyForm()
    myform.show()
    retcode = app.exec_()
    print "last"



In order to perform the test several times I typed on the command line:

a="" ; while [ "$a" = "" ] ; do ./dodo.py ; read -t 1 a ; done

As soon as the window shows up
I click twice (slowly ) on 'one' and then on quit.

Sample output can be seen here:
gelonida at mypc:/my/directory$ a="" ; while [ "$a" = "" ] ; do ./dodo.py ;
read -t 1 a ; done

as you see the segfault happens rather often.

Does anybody see something suspicious with my code?
Can anybody else reproduce this?
as soon as I remove more lines the error seems to disappear.

What else could I do to debug this issue?

thanks for help or other ideas



If I run my script with strace ./dodo.py
I get following last lines for a run without error
