Treat a QVector and QString like you would treat an int: only one thread can 
write to it at a time, though multiple threads can read from it at the same 
time (provided none are writing).

If you have multiple threads writing, add a mutex or a QReadWriteLock around 
it.

Sure, the core dump you got when this crash happened points to one of the 
faulty threads. That thread is writing to the vector.

The problem is finding out the other thread.
