Comment (by anonymous):

 The attached patch 'fixes' the problem on my system, i.e.: I am now able
 to run a scan to completion without limiting the system to single
 processor mode.  All I've done is to move the translation calls (which
 cause a race condition in QT) inside the blocks of code in which the
 QStrings are actually used.  I did some quick debug code which showed that
 previously, QString::tr was being called ~300,000 times for a scan on my
 system, with this patch it's only called 8 times.  So whilst this patch
 won't fix the race in QT, it does make us very much more unlikely to
 encounter it.  It should give a quicker runtime to all users too, at the
 expense of adding some repeated code.
