I have written an application in c++ which uses Qt 4.7.4. When starting up, it loads some selfwritten dynamic libraries which also use Qt (if this could be useful in a way).
When closing the application, sometimes it crashes with a SIGSEGV and the following backtrace:

And there are some more...
I think they are all related but I really can't figure out how and why this occurs (note that in no trace any of my code is listed).
Thank you very much for some hints, why this could occur or where I should start searching.

SIGSEGV is triggered by the operating system, which detects that a process is carrying out a memory violation, and may terminate it as a result.
A SIGSEGV is an error(signal) caused by an invalid memory reference or a segmentation fault. You are probably trying to access an array element out of bounds or trying to use too much memory.
1) Segmentation Fault (also known as SIGSEGV and is usually signal 11) occur when the program tries to write/read outside the memory allocated for it or when writing memory which can only be read.In other words when the program tries to access the memory to which it doesn't have access to.
I found the solution to my problem: I linked a static library to my main application and my dynamic libraries. This static library was using Qt which uses global variables. At application shutdown the dynamic libraries were unloaded from my application. This resulted in deleting the global variables of Qt. But the shutdown of the application itselves resulted in deleting the same global variables once more which ended in the SIGSEGVs.
The solution was to change the static library to a dynamic one. Now the global variables only get deleted once, since all the shared libraries and the main application are using the "same" Qt code.
