This seems to be a common problem with pinentry-qt.  We receoved
several reports of such bugs, yours is the first with detailed
information.  I know not enough about qt to tell you whats going on
but I remember that someone (Ingo?) remarked that the way the memory
allocator is overloaded is not reliable.

As a workaround, you should use pinentry-gtk - it is much smaller and
thus more reliable anyway.
