How large a file? It might be a memory management bug in pytables as well. If you have the developer tools (Xcode & friends) installed you can find out where the crash occurs using gdb. That is, 'gdb python', then on the prompt for gdb: 'r myscript.py' (adding arguments if needed). When the crash occurs you can use 'where 20' to see the topmost 20 frames on the C stack, or just 'where' to see the entire stack.
