[PySide] QThread crash before emitting finished signal

[Sebastian Elner]

Although it is in the documentation, QThread is not meant to be used 
this way (subclassing). Have a look at this: 
http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/06/17/youre-doing-it-wrong/ It helped me a 
lot. Also a complete stripped down example would greatly help in a case 
of a segfault.
