with Qt 4.7.0 I get errors when executing a Oracle stored procedure with bind variables. The same works fine for Qt 4.6.3.

Involved products:
-------------------------

• Database server: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
• DB-Client used for compiling Qt SQL plugin: Oracle Instant Client Release 10.2.0.3.0
• gcc for compiling Qt 4.7.0 and application: gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3

Situation:
------------
A simple QtGui application connects via oci Sql plugin using Oracle Instant Client to an Oracle XE database server and calls a simple stored procedure with 2 bind variables. As a result the client connection aborts with "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel". When using Qt 4.6.3 instead of Qt 4.7.0 in the same constellation it works fine.

Qt Client-Code:
---------------------
QSqlQuery sqlQuery;
QString currentVersion = "Version0815";
QString response;

response.resize(200);

sqlQuery.prepare("CALL k3_check_app_version(?, ?)");
sqlQuery.addBindValue(currentVersion);
sqlQuery.addBindValue(response, QSql::Out);

// Also tried this alternative:
//sqlQuery.bindValue(0, currentVersion);
//sqlQuery.bindValue(1, response, QSql::Out);

sqlQuery.exec();

The called Oracle Stored-Procedure:
--------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "KARO3"."K3_CHECK_APP_VERSION"
(v_version IN varchar2,
v_response OUT varchar2
) is
begin

declare
v_num number;

begin
if v_version IN ('1.10','1.11','1.12') then
v_response := 'SUPPORTED';
else
v_response := 'UNSUPPORTED';
end if;

exception
when others then
v_response := 'UNSUPPORTED';

end;
end;

Oracle dump on server side:
---------------------------------------
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [B77FD313] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0]

It seems that the first bind value (variable version) is not filled at all. But it also may crash for another reason (???)
