No.

A long time ago, I had to analyse a similar situation.
It turned out to be a memory corruption caused by the
Oracle client library.

You get a "core" file?
Open it in the debugger ("gdb").
When Python died from a segfault, the debugger should tell us.
You should also see where Python died. This may give a valuable
hint on the why.
