[Qt-interest] slightly OT - launching Qt app with CreateProcess (win32), clipboard operations hang

Ths is a really strange one and is rather exotic but I've run out of 
places to look for a solution.

I have a small Qt GUI app that gets launched from a non-Qt windows app 
using CreateProcess(). The main app then waits for the Qt app to exit 
using WaitForSingleObject(). All is well.

Now, while the small Qt app is up, if I use the clipboard (for example, 
right click on a text field and select Copy), when I go to PASTE that 
into another window, both the small Qt app and the target app *HANG*. I 
have to use Task Manager to kill one or the other to get the system back 
in shape.

Any idea what is going on here?
