Well, I'm using binary install (version 0.6.45) on Ubuntu, and since yesterday's update of the Ubuntu Linux kernel to the version:
$ uname -a
Linux XXXXXXX 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Calibre segfaults in the same way when I plug in the Sony Reader (PRS-600).
Whan I run Calibre on the command line with the Sony reader plugged in, even with -v option, only following is printed:
$ ./calibre -v
link hasn't been detected!
link hasn't been detected!
Segmentation fault
(Note that after 'link' lines, Calibre's window appears, and it breafly tells that Sony reader is detected, but after 2 sec. the window disappears as Calibre segfaults.)
When I run Calibre without Sony reader pluged in, it starts normally and does not crash.
So I don't think this is related to QT update, it is more likely related to the Ubuntu Linux kernel update.
I will try to reboot to previous kernel version and see what happens.
