Sorry for all the emails, but I finally tracked it down.
QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8") is returning 0 because I call it before
QApplication is initialized. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or
not. In any case, on the other platforms it's not a problem.
But where there is definitely a bug in Qt is that
QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8") caches the results, even when it returns
0. So my early call of QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8") gets a 0 cached
for UTF-8, which then later causes QTextStream::readLine() to crash when
it calls QTextCodec::codecForName("UTF-8"). So looking at the Qt code, an
extra condition should be added to make sure null pointers aren't cached
in the QTextCodec::codecForName() function. Thanks!
