maybe this is somehow related to bug# 5187 "Crash when getting a  
snapshot of a QT player frame"?

Tested this on other Macs and found that sometimes there is no  
snapshot being imported at all,
but at least we did not experience a crash.

Anyway, this will demand severaly days of working around this if  
possible, since in our current and
big project we use this feature a lot :-/
