[Zeno Albisser]

can you give us some more information about how to reproduce this?

I launched a trunk build of MiniBrowser. It crashed when loaded the plugin named skypebuttons.so. I tried it in debug and it was not the first plugin so other ones was loaded successfully. I don't know anything about this plugin but according to the backtrace it seems to be a Qt bug anyway.

Alexis, am I mistaken or isn't this just that symbol clashing issue we faced a few times already? (skypebuttons trying to load libQt4, or something like that...).

Yes. But we need to solve that somehow.

As I know nowadays plugins are disabled in trunk. The solution (if we want plugins) can be to use plugin process, for which I have a working solution: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72121 (the patch is quite old, however it still applied a week ago so most probably it applies now as well). Anyway, I close this as invalid since this bug is not present in ToT.
