segfault on qtextstream

hey all,
First I open a file "cutePOSinvoice.html" that I read with
QTextStream, then I put the content in a QString "templateoutput ". I
replace some text in templateoutput with some other string and then
create a new file "output.html" to write the new templateoutput string
into. Everything works fine except the writing cause when I remove it the app doesn't crash, it might be due to something else but I'm pretty clueless. Any idea what
I'm doing wrong? thanx in advance, here is the code:

Code:

---

QFile invoice("cutePOSinvoice.html");
if (!invoice.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
            return;
 
QTextStream in(&invoice);
QString templateoutput = in.readAll();
 
qDebug() << templateoutput;
invoice.close();
QString clientIDinvoice = getAccountID();
 
templateoutput.replace (QString("$ClientID"),clientIDinvoice );
    QFile data("output.html");
    if (data.open(QFile::WriteOnly)) {
        QTextStream out(&data);
        out << templateoutput;
    }

---

Could you post the backtrace?

Sure, here it is:

Did you compile your application in debug mode?

OK it's working now :) , I changed

Code:

---

QString clientIDinvoice = getAccountID();

---

to

Code:

---

QString clientIDinvoice;
clientIDinvoice.append(getAccountID());

---

thanx for your help.
any idea why it was causing a segfault by the way?

It might be a Qt bug. Which Qt version do you use? Do you use threads?

No I'm not using threads and I'm using 4.1.1

What does getAccountID() do?

Either there is something wrong with this function or there is a bug in Qt. Could you post its code (just the part that constructs that string)?

here it is:

Code:

---

QString GenerateInvoiceDialog::getAccountID(){
QString clientvarIDstr;
clientvarIDstr.setNum(clientvarID);
return clientvarIDstr;
}

---

update: clientvarID is an int class var, by the way I also get the same error with this function:

Code:

---

QString GenerateInvoiceDialog::getCustomerName(){
 
QString clientname = ui.clientnamelabel->text();
return clientname;
}

---

This is really strange. What compiler do you use? Do you use the Qt 4.1.1 or its snapshot?
