[ROOT] signals/slots in the ROOT standalone application

Dear All,

there is an "#if" in the "tutorials/guitest.C"  that gives a hint it's 
possible to
build a standalone application if to #define STANDALONE:

//-------------------------------------------
#ifdef STANDALONE
TROOT root("GUI", "GUI test environement");

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   TApplication theApp("App", &argc, argv);

   if (gROOT->IsBatch()) {
      fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot run in batch mode\n", argv[0]);
      return 1;
   }

   guitest();

   theApp.Run();

   return 0;
}
#endif
//-------------------------------------------

In order to build a standalone application I've tried the following 
naive way:

1) (I've) installed qt-free-3.3.3 with the "./configure -qt-gif -thread";
2) installed ROOT-4.00.08 with "./configure --enable-qt --enable-table";
3) copied ".rootrc" given at http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/QtRoot.html#switch
   into the working directory ("$ROOTSYS/tutorials");
4) copied Makefile and Makefile.arch from "../test" to the working dir.;
   and built an executable by "make guitest" (lazy guy);

I've used the gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-112.7.1)

I haven't got any compilation error message, but a core dump while trying
to run the "./guitest":

What is a correct way to build a standalone version of "guitest.C" with 
signals/slots?

Thank you,

Vassili.
