Going back to my VNC with SE29, when I use "vs" instead of "vs_exe" I am not getting the crash with QT5 version anymore either.

I guess moral of this story is to use "vs" and not "vs_exe"

Sorry, I totally missed that. Never run vs_exe directly. You must run the "vs" script or some shared libraries won't be found and/or the wrong shared libraries may get used.

Clark:

Thanks for your help!

It could be useful if you add an error message print from vs_exe if it is not run through the wrapper script vs.

In similar situations at my office when I have wrapper scripts I have the tool that is only supposed to be run from the wrapper output an error message if not run through the wrapper to minimize the wasted time.

The reason I went to vs_exe instead of vs was that I saw it in the "ps -ef" output. I shouldn't have done that. An error message like this would help someone who tries that.
