Hello All, Python crashes for me during shutdown. Shell says the process terminated with Abort (status 134). A python2.6.exe.stackdump is created, but empty and gdb gives this rather useless stacktrace:
#0 0x00000000 in ?? () #1 0x76677720 in NlsUpdateSystemLocale () from /c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll #2 0x76604b9f in KERNEL32!GetQueuedCompletionStatus () from /c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll #3 0x00000003 in ?? () #4 0x00000000 in ?? () The crash happens during shutdown according to python -v. It started crashing since some upgrade, but downgrade to python 2.6.7-1 does not fix it, so it's related to some other component. It happens on at least two machines here, so it seems to be reproducible. Both machines are Windows 7 Ultimate and have windows updates applied. The script uses cElementTree and pure-python translate-toolkit (that from local copy). I've tried to reduce it to minimal test case and it turns out that importing _both_ cElementTree _and_ pofile and pounit from translate toolkit initiates the crash. The minimal test case is: #!/usr/bin/python import xml.etree.cElementTree as et from translate.storage.po import pofile, pounit provided that translate toolkit 1.9.0 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/translate/files/Translate%20Toolkit/1.9.0/) is available in current directory or PYTHONPATH. Importing either of the modules alone does not cause the crash, only both together. If I replace cElementTree with ElementTree, it does not crash either (that's my current workaround).
