On recent Ubuntu versions segfaults get recorded in dmesg and end up in
/var/log/kern.log like this:

Mar 22 02:10:03 fridge kernel: [7804719.781375] python[10447]: segfault at 
7fff84a7c000 ip 00007fff83aae7cb sp 00007fff84a7bd98 error 7 in 
libc-2.9.so[7fff83a2b000+168000]

I assume that's a standard kernel feature now (we've 2.6.28, x86_64).

Can you reproduce this, reliably?

I'd be reaching for python/expat debug symbols and gdb, probably.
