py script closes Python after it's executed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Whenever I try to execute this script, Python (including IDLE) closes down
without any warnings or errors:

# Use the blur.wingui package vs. the default PyQt4 packages for windows
and dialogs
 # because these items contain 3dsMax specific code needed to run

 from blur.wingui import Dialog
 from PyQt4.QtGui import QPushButton

 # Create the dialog
 dialog = Dialog()
 button = QPushButton( dialog )
 button.setText( 'Test' )

 # Launch the dialog
 dialog.show()

Here are some machine/app specs:
- I'm using Windows XP Professional version.
- Python 2.6
- Max 2008 32 bit
- Installed Py3dsMax10_python24_x32_install_8678.exe
- Installed PyQt4-gpl-snapshot-20090412_win32-msvc2008.exe
- Installed blur_libs_install_8851_win32-msvc2008.exe
- Installed blur_pyqt_modules_install_8851_win32-msvc2008.exe
- Installed qt_install_4.5.2-1_win32-msvc2008.exe
- Installed Qt SDK: Complete Development Environment

I'm able to import blur and PyQt4 modules without problems. Let me know if
you need any more information.

This happens when running Qt code in Python before initializing a QApplication. 
 The 3dsMax example code has 
to be run from within 3dsMax - I am handling all the application initialization 
code in the 
[max]/scripts/python/__startup__.py file, but if you are going to run external 
code, then you'll need to initialize 
and manage your own QApplication instances.
