Problem with connect()

Hallo everybody.

I have a problem with using connect between two different objects and methods, here
is some of the code:

Code:

---

this->_alarmPanelLed1 = new AlarmPanelLed(QPointF(-205,-225), "VHF1", Qt::red);
this->_alarmPanelScene->addItem(this->_alarmPanelLed1);
 
connect(this->_alarmPanelLed1, SIGNAL(lightChanged(bool)), this->_comThread, SLOT(lightChanged(bool)) );

---

And here is the error message i got:
Unhandled exception at 0x00430044 in hardwaretester.exe: 0xC000008C: Array bounds exceeded.

Are u using arrays ??
You are getting wrong index of array error.

I am using a vector, but it should not matter here. If i comment out the connect sentence it runs fine. But else not. The debugger in Visual studio stops in the qobject.cpp.

I think I've found the problem myself. The _comThread object was not initialized it means a NULL pointer. Thank you.
