In addition to Josiah's response I will note that the warning you get is specific to the Mac's malloc implementation (or maybe more generally to Darwin or *BSD). It's not necessarily that the problem doesn't occur on other platforms, just that the malloc implementation doesn't include that sort of check by default.

If that doesn't get you going post your questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. That's were most of the Mac-head Python developers hang out.
