[Qt-creator] Creator segmentation faults becoming common...

[Roberto Raggi]

We noticed a bug in Qt/master that can easily crash Creator. If you  
are using Qt from the master's branch you should consider to revert to  
a more stable version, for example I did a git reset --hard  
099a32d121cbc80a1a234c3146f4be9b5237e7e8 in my Qt directory and  
Creator definitely looks usable on my machine :) but if you're not  
using Qt/master and it's a Creator's bug then would be nice if you can  
send us a backtrace and some information on how to reproduce the crash.

Writing a generic email about Creator's state without a full bug  
report is pretty much useless for us.
