[Development] Programs crashing left and right in the CI

[Simon Hausmann]

Excellent summary. I'd like to add one point: The crashes appear to happen with a big majority in qtbase.

Outside of qtbase I've only seen moc crash, on macOS I think.

Hi,

to summarize for Windows:

- Crashes have been observed over time in various tests, mostly in
QtCore (QDir,QFile, QProcess see fex
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-47370

- It only affects 64bit (!) (correct me if you have observed otherwise)

- It never has been observed for MinGW (most likely since we don't have
64bit MinGW builds?)

I think the QTest::toString appearing is an artifact of the code that
walks the stack.

We know that it seems to depends on some obscure CI parameters (load?),
so far, we have not been able to see anything useful in the stack traces.

Friedemann
