Ive tracked down the cause of this core dump, and it seems to be related to
the pybsddb distutils.....
This was my first use of distutils, so I was following the installation
instruction closely. I built the extension module with:
/usr/local/bin/python2.1 setup.py build_ext --inplace
--berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/ --lflags="-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/lib/"
then everything was fine when running the test suite.
I installed the extension module with:
/usr/local/bin/python2.1 setup.py install
but then the installed version dumped core because it was linking to the
RedHat-supplied libdb-3.1.so, not my freshly compiled 3.3 from /usr/local/
Looking in the build directory I see two subdirectories lib.linux-i686-2.1
and temp.linux-i686-2.1. One contains the working version version I build
originally, and which passed the tests. The second contains a *different*
build that was created during the distutils install command. Of course this
version was not compiled with the correct library search path.
I can create a working installation by specifying the extra command line
options during the install:
/usr/local/bin/python2.1 setup.py install
--berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/ --lflags="-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/lib/"
