Brian Bernstein <bernie9...@gmail.com> added the comment: After further investigation, it appears the cause is the ability to overflow the datetime object by almost a year. I've modified the test to demonstrate this relative to the current date:
from datetime import date, datetime, timedelta (datetime.now()-timedelta((date.today()-date(1,1,1)).days+364)).ctime() It seems the date can be overflowed by up to a year without throwing an Exception. The result of which is a seg fault when calling the bound ctime method. Note that anything above 364 results in OverFlowError. Below 18 still overflows, but does not seg fault, instead resulting in a weird result,e.g.: 'Tue (null) 240 17:25:37 0001' I'll update the script to demonstrate the edge cases where this occurs. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18910/segfault.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9888> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
