New submission from Jan Lieskovsky <ian...@seznam.cz>:
Hello guys,
i am experiencing segmentation fault, when trying to set the
error indicator via the PyErr_SetString() method called from C source.
This occurs for all Python exceptions, as documented in:
http://docs.python.org/c-api/exceptions.html
Checked Python-2.6.2, also Python-2.4.1 - the crash is present
there (wondering what's wrong with the provided reproducer).
Scenario:
--------
tar xvzf pyexceptions-sample.tar.gz
cd pyexceptions-sample
make
./pyexceptionssample ->
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Note: Doesn't matter if compiled with libpython2.6.a or libpython2.4.so,
the crash is still there.
Here is the most interesting part of the backtrace (the whole
coredump also attached).
gdb ./pyexceptions-sample core.31283
Core was generated by `./pyexceptions-sample'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
[New process 31283]

39 oldtype = tstate->curexc_type;
(gdb) bt

traceback = (PyObject *) 0x0
(gdb) info locals
tstate = (PyThreadState *) 0x0
oldtype = <value optimized out>
oldvalue = <value optimized out>
oldtraceback = <value optimized out>
(Looks like NULL ptr dereference in tstate = (PyThreadState *)).
Could you please have a look?
Thanks && regards, Jan.
