Q_ASSERT in debug mode is not an answer either, since the effect is pretty much 
equivalent to that of a crash (except one gets a SIGABRT instead of SIGSEGV).

Q_ASSERTs and C assert()s are meant for devs only. For that reason, Tomaz's 
patch is fine: it doesn't remove or introduce any new protection.

That said, the question stands: can it happen?
