I'm using Qt 4.7.2 (gentoo-linux).

I just have rewritten the program as you suggested and yes, I did a 
little unnecessary work, but the problem persists. The code looks 
currently like this:

netManager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
connect(netManager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)), 
this,SLOT(replyFinished(QNetworkReply*)));
QNetworkRequest  
request(QUrl("http://www.zlug.org/~bebl/php/swformtest/swloginform.php"));
QUrl  post;
post.addQueryItem("SCX","1024");
post.addQueryItem("SCY","768");
post.addQueryItem("WSCX","1008");
post.addQueryItem("WSCY","593");
post.addQueryItem("FORM_USERNAME",username);  // possible none-Latin-1-Chars
post.addQueryItem("FORM_PASS",password);  // possible none-Latin-1-Chars
post.addQueryItem("LOGON","Login");
post.addQueryItem("NOREFRESH","1");
post.addQueryItem("NOGFX","1");
debugOutput("LoginThread::run:  ascertained  post-data:  "+post.encodedQuery());
netManager->post(request,  post.encodedQuery());

As you can see, I currently do only the absolute necessary. (my self-written 
wwwEncoder was built according the rules of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738 
.. so it should work the same way as QUrl ;) ). I also changed the webserver, as 
you can see.

The previously described effect is the same, in 1 out of 5 posts, the fin-flag 
is set in the post-request and the post-data is added twice. After this, the 
finished-SIGNAL is never sent and the thread is dead-locked.
