[Qgis-user] Adding attributes to a layer with "memory" provider

Hi,
in my plugin I create a layer using the following code:
self.lines = QgsVectorLayer("LineString", "temporary_lines", "memory")
self.lines.startEditing()
field = QgsField("label", QVariant.String)
field.setLength(100)
ret = self.lines.addAttribute(field)
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(self.lines)
self.lines.commitChanges()
However, the field is not added to the layer and "ret" is false. I realized
I am not even able to add the attribute in the GUI using layer Properties
dialog - the Type dropdown in Attributes - Add column window is empty. Is it
bug or a feature that I cannot add attributes to memory layer?
I'm using 1.4.0 on Windows XP.
Thanks for help.
Vaclav
