I should (admit) that I was also running the beta and building that so there is a possibility that I have some left over side effects of that I have not been able to clean up. I have taken out everything I can track down on that and some other dev things (not QGIS) I was doing a year or longer ago.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The other crash that may be related and seems to give more info is when I run the basic standalone app example from the PyQGIS book.
