QT 7.0.4 Crashes DiskWarrior 3.0.3

Question

After reading the report about QT 7.0.4 being pulled and then reposted, I DL’d the stand-alone version, reinstalled it, and then Repaired Permissions.
But when I run DiskWarrior, at the conclusion of Step 10 / upon being advised that the “Directory Was Successfully Replaced”, DW crashes. Since the repaired directory has, at this point, been replaced, there was no dire consequence. Still I sent the crash logs off to Apple and Alsoft, just to protect the innocent...
This occurred on my DP 800/10.4.4 and on a PB G4/10.3.9. In both cases I had installed QT 7.0.4.
Note: the above problem only occurred when running DW from one volume on another. It did not happen when I ran DW from the CD.
Reverting to QT 7.0.1 resolved the problem on both computers.
Does anyone know of any other solution?

There is a long thread about this issue in MacFixIt's forums:

Alsoft seems to have responded to several people's inquiries by affirming that QT 7.0.4 is indeed the cause of the crash; however, because the crash happens after Step 10, at the time when users are asked whether they'd like to Save the DW Report, the crash itself doesn't effect or undo the directory rebuild.
My experience doesn't exactly confirm that--I still find a small number of files out of order after the rebuild is completed, but until this is fixed, and having no need to use QT 7.0.4 for the sake of not yet having installed iLife 06, I think reverting to QT 7.0.3 makes sense. For my needs, I'd rather have a fully functioning Disk Warrior than a less than necessary QT update.
