Hi,

I have wrapped some templated c++ code using Cython.  The c++ code
uses templates and I am using the "evil nasty" tricks that cython
allows to handle this.  Everything was working fine (beautifully in
all actuality)....until I started getting seg faults, bus errors and
messages like:

Python(4538) malloc: *** error for object 0x311140: Non-aligned
pointer being freed (2)
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

These problems show up in very simple case, such as when importing a
module, instantiating a class and Python exiting.
I am running the Python 2.5.1 that comes with Leopard.  From look back
at sage-devel list, it looks like this could be a problem with the
2.5.1. that comes with Leopard.  I am going to try things on a Linux
box to see if that helps.  But I have some more general questions:

Does any one have general thoughts/experience is debugging these types
of things in Cython?

Is valgrind a good option?  Any hints on getting started with cython+valgrind?

When people have seen this type of thing with cython, what types of
things have been the culprit?  (ie, where should I start looking).

Thanks,

Brian
