Made sure I did this before I emailed. Hasn't helped.

I've been playing around adding all sorts of debugging information.
The call to connect in siscan.cpp

connect(siparser,  SIGNAL(EventsReady(QMap_Events*)),
  eitHelper, SLOT(HandleEITs(QMap_Events*))))

returns true so you would expect that the signals has been connected.

I added a debug statement into moc_siparser.cpp and it turns out that
when the signal is emitted, nobody is listening, which explains why it
isn't working.

What it doesn't explain is why nobody is listening when clearly we
have connected the two together.


Bizarre. Ideas?
