Animated GIF crashes QupZilla 1.6.6

[ghost]

Trying to watch some animated GIFs causes QupZilla 1.6.6 to crash on Windows machines (confirmed on WinXP, Win7, and Win 8). Here's one example of a GIF that crashes the browser:

...The problem doesn't occur with the QtTestBrowser, and plays correctly without crashing.

Here's the data from "Help -> Configuration Information" on the Win7 machine:

This seems to be a Windows specific issue. Please have a look at QupZillas Blog and go to the post added by Michael Bergmann on March 29.

This issue will be fixed when Windows binaries are built with Qt 5.
