Thanks Samuel for your reply.
We do have our own build of Qt, but I really would avoid to change them, 
it would be very difficult for us to keep our changes in sync with the 
new Qt distributions.

I'm using Qt 4.7.3 on Windows, Linux and Mac.
I double checked the bindTexture source code on Qt 4.8 and there does 
not seem to be a different error handling than in 4.7 version :(
