This is bizarre. Have you run any other qt3 programs besides Scribus? I built
the Breezy packages in a clean chroot, so they are linked with the breezy
version of libqt3-mt. Can you install strace and run "strace -o
scribus-ng.strace scribus-ng", compress the resulting scribus-ng.strace file
with bzip2 and email it to me?

Thanks,

Alex.
