Unfortunately the ability of mapscript to deal with garbage collection
is still limited.
For example: the host language (in your case, python) will free an
object because it is no longer reachable without knowing that
mapscript still has references to it.
As soon as mapscript dereferences the pointer a segfault will occur.
As of now there are some methods that are safe to use in some ways,
but I can't provide a list right now.

Have you already encountered this exception with Python/MapScript :
Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute
'currentThread'" in <bound method mapObj.__del__ of <mapscript.mapObj;

I'm using python/mapscript from MS4W 1.19 and Python 2.4.3
Stephane,
I think it would be helpful if you could boil this down to a minimal set
of python mapscript calls to demonstrate the problem and submit this as a
bug report in the mapserver bugzilla. I am not aware of systematic problems
in garbage collection in MapScript but if there are, a concrete demonstration
would be helpful.
Best regards,
