Lock up with QPopupMenu and QFileDialog

Message 1 in thread

Mac OS X 10.4, Qt 3.3.6:

In one of my apps a QPopupMenu item is bound to a QAction which  
invokes QFileDialog::getSaveFileName().  If I use the menu as a  
context menu, then when I select the menu item my app displays the  
file save dialog -- and locks up.

When invoked from the app's menu bar, the same action works fine.

Is this a known problem?  Is there a workaround?

Thanks for any help.  More info available on request.

     QString filename = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(
             "foo.txt", "Text Files (*.txt)", this,
