Strange crashing

[Radek]

I am trying to create a slightly updated version of the Blanchette - Summerfield "slider - spinbox" example. The updating consists in creating the GUI in the Designer and using the .ui file in my code. The main window is a class MyFrame with a default ctor:

MyFrame::MyFrame() : QMainWindow()
{
  ui.setupUi(this);
 
  connect(ui.slider,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),ui.spinbox,SLOT(setValue(int)));
  connect(ui.spinbox,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),ui.slider,SLOT(setValue(int)));
 
  show();
}

MyFrame::MyFrame() : QMainWindow()
{
  ui.setupUi(this);

  connect(ui.slider,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),ui.spinbox,SLOT(setValue(int)));
  connect(ui.spinbox,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),ui.slider,SLOT(setValue(int)));

  show();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The program compiles and runs nicely. When I click the 'x' button on the titlebar, the program closes gracefully sometimes (about 50 % chance) and sometimes produces a crash output:

but then I get informed that

/home/radek/Desktop/C++/project/slider-release/slider exited with code 0

I cannot find out any rule, when the program exits normally and when it crashes. Any ideas?

Line 8 is typically unnecessary because you call show() from outside the object (in main()).

What is main() doing? How are you creating/destroying a MyFrame instance?

Here is the project.
