According to my impression newsgroup is not a place to report a bug.

Dear Oliver,

As I've said, the bug doesn't care. Again, my application doesn't use <i>
tags but CSS styles exclusively. The <i> tag is used in the example for
brevity.
Feel free to set the text italic with a CSS style and see the application
crash in the absolutely same way.

I must admit I'm a bit surprised at the lack of Nokia response to this
matter. Since this bug causes a memory access violation in an often
web-connected component (QWebView), it is likely to be a critical security
vulnerability exploitable by attackers (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163311.aspx). Since I can invoke
it by merely loading a web page referencing external fonts in the supplied
demo Browser application, it is clearly not caused by my code.

Respectively,

Strahinja Markovic
