Hi, sadly, we missed the opportunity to fix a crash bug in 0.14.1. It's been there for ages, so it's not a regression, but the recent runs of the Py2.6 regression tests should have been red enough to tell us that it was there...
http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/658 Basically, when you put "*args" or "**kwargs" into a closure, and anything bad happens during argument unpacking (such as an illegal argument type), the closure fields will get DECREF-ed but not set back to 0, so that the deallocation code crashes afterwards. I don't think it's that uncommon to have args and kwargs in a closure, just think of a generic wrapper function. I opened a milestone 0.14.2 because I think this is worth fixing soon, maybe within a week or two, in case we want to wait for other problems to turn up.
