I can reproduce the Bus Error exactly the way Hans described, on Tiger (fully updated). But it doesn't occur on Panther, as I've also just checked. With ipython-py24 the error does NOT occur on the Tiger installation, only ipython-py23 (and more importantly /sw/bin/python2.3) shows the crash.

Hi,

I came across this when I installed ipython (ipython-py23) together with
python23 using fink on Tiger (10.4.1). I observe the following bizarre
crash:

Bus error

It turns out that this has nothing to do with ipython. If I run the
python2.3 behind this ipython and issue a few commands relating to the
readline library, I can produce the same (or another) error:

Vigor10:~ fangohr$ /sw/bin/python2.3
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Jul  1 2005, 13:24:33)

import readline
readline.set_history_length(1000)
print raw_input('crash> ')

Bus error
Vigor10:~ fangohr$


Can't reproduce this on my 10.3.9 system with either python 2.3 or 2.4.
