dbus deadlock

[frederic heem]

Hi,
An application using QtDbus stopped working today, it prints the following 
message and hangs 
QMutex::lock: Deadlock detected in thread -1208973632
At the stage of initializing D-Bus, the application doesn't use thread so what 
a surprise to see a thread related bug in a single thread application
Actually, the qt message seems to be wrong, it is not a dead lock but an error 
related a non recursive mutex that is lock 2 times by the same thread.
Here is the code in  qmutex.cpp 
          if (d->owner == self) {
                qWarning("QMutex::lock: Deadlock detected in thread %ld", 
d->owner);
            }

            // didn't get the lock, wait for it
            d->wait(); /////<<<<<< STUCK HERE

Here is the backtrace:

Anyone has already experienced the problem ?
Should I create a bug report ?
Here is the systen: CentOs4.4/dbus-1.0,/QtDBus 4.2
Thanks,
