Recently, I have analysed something that looked precisely like
you describe it. It turned out to be an
infinite "__getattr__" recursion in "LDAPUser".

This recursion exceeded the C runtime stack limit before it hit
Python's "RuntimeError: maximal recursion depth exceeded".
The result has been a SIGSEGV due to C runtime stack overflow.

This problem was easy to fix: I added a "_properties= None"
definition to the "LDAPUser" class.


Not sure, whether you have the same problem -- even though
the symptoms are identical.
