qt_invoke is generated when the source is run through moc. I'm not
familiar with gdb, but I think that it traces back to the original
calling method. So addPage calls a slotNewPage which calls slotNewPageM.
As the final method was in scribusapp.cpp, it stands to reason that the
qt_invoke will be from there.

This does lead to something interesting. I can't see a problem in
addPage, but there are a number of times in the NewPage methods where
memory is allocated and no exception is tested. For the 1.1 branch, all
of the calls to new are to be trapped as are all filesystem calls. If my
cunning plan works, then the overall size increase will be almost zero,
if it doesn't, typically catching adds a 10-15% overhead. Failing that,
moc is not behaving itself.

Out of interest, how much memory do you have in your machine?

TTFN
