*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 457688 ***

Comment #2 and 3 show that this bug is fixed from installing from
https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa .
That ppa is devoted to the fix for bug #457688 (it contains a single
cherrypicked patch in libboost. That patch fixes python-visual segfaults
exactly like the one reported here)
Comment #4 here confirmed the fix.
http://vpython.org/contents/download_linux.html discusses the doc string bug,
which has the identical symptoms as you describe.
"There is a bug in the standard Boost libraries on Ubuntu 9.10, and to build
VPython
you must first install Boost 1.38 libraries from
https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa.
Be sure to read and follow ALL of the instructions; click on everything in
sight on that web page."
I reproduced this bug in Lucid, and fixed this bug using the fix
described here (which is actually fixing the bug that I believe to be a
duplicate of this bug). The fix described here is the fix for bug
#457688 (which is a cherry pick from libboost's svn). Therefore, fixing
bug #457688 (and bug #539049) fixes the bug described here.
Either there are two bugs here (one that me, Florian Diesch, linuxcub,
Jaime Villate, and vpython developers have noticed and a second one that
you have), or they are the same bug.
You're testing is quite thorough and complete, so I'll defer to your judgement
a to whether you're reporting the same bug that Florian Diesch, linuxcub, and
Jaime Villate are seeing. Have you tried the fix described here (install
https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa)?
Thanks again for your help.
