Interestingly, on subsequent runs, it seems to hit the same
address, 0x6aab7c, belonging to the same symbol, _Py_ZeroStruct.
This is what happens:
(gdb) watch *0x6aab7c
Hardware watchpoint 1: *0x6aab7c
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/python2.7-dbg ./bootstrap_gm_db_system.py
--log-file=./bootstrap-latest.log --conf-file=bootstrap-latest.conf --
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Hardware watchpoint 1: *0x6aab7c
Old value = 0
New value = -1208182272
_Py_AddToAllObjects (op=False, force=0) at ../Objects/object.c:70
70 ../Objects/object.c: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden.
(gdb)
which means I'll probably have to apply the delayed
breakpoint setting strategy, or else it is just some initial
relocation at startup. Let's see what "cont" brings. The next
hit after the Python script has run until just before it
usually aborts:
Hardware watchpoint 1: *0x6aab7c
Old value = -1208182272
New value = 0
_Py_ForgetReference (op=False) at ../Objects/object.c:2255

The backtrace at this point says:

And continuing hits the SIGABRT right away:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Debug memory block at address p=0x6aab7c: API ''
0 bytes originally requested

at p-3: 0x33 *** OUCH
at p-2: 0x47 *** OUCH
at p-1: 0x00 *** OUCH
Because memory is corrupted at the start, the count of bytes
requested
may be bogus, and checking the trailing pad bytes may segfault.

The block was made by call #0 to debug malloc/realloc.

Does that help ?
