for future reference. the easiest way to get a hint on what is going on is to look at the backtrace from the core dump and see what it says.
$ gdb $(which python) --core=<corefile> gdb> bt this is what I have done in the past, when python segfaulted.. for me it turned out to be python was using a different version of expat than what apache was... and the backtrace helped as was segfaulting in a XML area. regards Ian On 14/09/2006, at 1:42 AM, Richard Phelps wrote: > Michael , > Some obscure (to me anyhow) tests failed for django.
