Setting the codec for the locale on Unix to something that isn't 8-bit is an 
extremely bad idea.

Don't do it.

Doesn't look like a Qt error. I don't know if glib assertions are fatal (I've 
seen many apps continue after printing assertions), so I can't tell whether 
this error is related to your crash or not. Can you pastebin a backtrace?

I also can't tell whether the problem that Karl linked to is relevant. GNOME's 
bugzilla seems to be down. 
(http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bugzilla.gnome.org says "It's not just 
you! http://bugzilla.gnome.org looks down from here.")
