    Description

      We just upgraded from 5.9.5 to 5.12.3. I have encountered a crash of most of our GUI applications on Linux directly at start. These applications exhibited a floating point exception (FPE). For the record: we have purposely enabled floating point exceptions (specifically FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW) in our applications to catch floating point errors in our signal processing code. In the debugger I could identify that a call of reciprocal_mul_ps() (SSE4 instruction) with a vector containing a 0 (resulting in INF) was the reason of the FPE.

      Backtrace:

      Other some more investigation I could narrow down the problem to a PNG file containing background transparency which is used as a window icon via QApplication::setWindowIcon() (to be precise the PNG file is embedded as Qt resource).

      When I replace the PNG file with another one without transparency I don't get a FPE.

      In the Qt git repository I found the commit dfa434a9799618eba48a84cbad279262679aa108 which optimized the SSE image conversion routines. This commit was made after Qt 5.9
