Comment (by paulh):

 Made a little progress on this.

 I can randomly reproduce it now using a VBox as source by starting and
 stopping live TV and switching channels a few times it will eventually
 segfault.

 Using gdb to look at a few things the only strange thing I see is m_buffer
 instead of being filled with the stream data it contains a web page
 showing a "500 Internal Error". So for whatever reason the VBox is failing
 to start streaming and that is somehow causing the segfault.

 I suspect it has something to do with the QEventLoop in
 HTTPReader::DownloadStream(const QUrl url) exiting quicker than when a
 stream succeeds possibly with the order of the SIGNALS being called in a
 different order but I still can't see how that leads to the segfault in
 the BT. Open to suggestions :)
