Oh, joy -- Sigil has stopped working again. Same error as before.

I checked the registry, and guess what: that Trolltech Qt entry is back. So I'm suspicious this is the cause of the problem. There's another Qt-based program I use regularly (XnView) that's replacing the entry whenever I run it. That registry entry has two sub-entries, "Qt Factory Cache 4.8" "Qt Plugin Cache 4.8 false," so maybe there's some sort of version problem between Qt 4 and 5.

Somebody probably needs to look into this. Should be easy to verify: just try running Sigil 0.7.2 and XnView MP 0.53 on the same Windows 7 64-bit system.
