qtcurve 0.64.1-1-x86_64 upgrades causes Firefox segfaults

The updates to qtcurve-gtk2 and qtcurve-kde4 version 0.64.1-1-x86_64 caused my copy of Firefox to segfault like crazy.  I couldn't scroll pages without fear of a sudden, inexplicable crash.  I tried everything I could think of (including a fresh install of Firefox) before figuring out that changing my KDE4 settings to use themes other than qtcurve got rid of the crashes.

Downgrading to qtcurve-gtk2-0.62.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz and qtcurve-kde4-0.62.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz solved the problem for me.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Confirmed (Firefox 3.5.99 from AUR, i686). Pretty much all other GTK apps are working fine.
With gtk-qt engine and Oxygen theme, firefox does not crash.

Version 0.64.2 of both qtcurve-gtk2 and qtcurve-kde4 have been released upstream.  They seem to solve the problem, but further testing will be needed.

I can't compile 0.64.2 succesfully ATM... but I'll wait for a package upgrade, as I don't like gtk-qt very much.

Don't know if it will help any to isolate the issue, but no problems like that at all here using the above-mentioned packages.

For the record, since I've switched to KDE svn984151 from kde-unstable, the latest qtcurve is crashing all the time (even when trying to change colors)- so I have (temporarily?) switched to gtk-qt, which works without issues.
