I'm curious what this does... so you are asking me to make a release
version but to use the debug flags with a -O0 thrown in for good measure...
which means it is NOT trying to link against the debug versions of the Qt
libraries I assume (since the compile finishes). But then - what's
different under Windows?

I reverted Linus' patch, added these two lines, rebuilt the binary (after
making clean) and installed on Windows. Same problem, same crash report
devoid any information whatsoever.

So I'm missing something, right? :-)
