I was just hit *hard* by this issue (in an extension that worked perfectly well under all test cases, and all but one demo script, which happened to be the only one that happened to do a certain trivial operation more than 222 times), so I added a FAQ entry: http://effbot.org/pyfaq/why-does-my-c-extension-suddenly-crash-under-2.5.htm feel free to add symptoms or other observations for other platforms and/or extensions. cheers /F _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
