Backup and Recovery causing applications using Qt5 DLLs to crash

I'm a software engineer at Tableau Software and we've discovered a bug in Dell's Backup and Recovery software that is causing any 64-bit application which uses the Qt5 core DLLs to crash whenever a Save or Open file dialogue is opened. We have been able to reproduce this behavior with an extremely simple application using just QT code:

#include
#include

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

QApplication a(argc, argv);
QFileDialog::getSaveFileName();

return 0;

}

This app was built in Qt Creator with the standard Qt 5.4.1 SDK for 64-bit MSVC2013.

To work around this problem we are having to instruct our customers to completely remove the Backup and Recovery software from their workstation.
I have been unable to identify a good way to report this bug to Dell outside of this forum. Could someone point me in the right direction?
