Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-newt
Python scripts using the python-newt extension module crash on exit when
using Python 2.5. The crash is caused by an invalid pointer being
passed to the C library function free() when the Python interpreter does
its final module cleanup. The bug can be reproduced by running on of
the example scripts included with python-newt:
python /usr/share/doc/python-newt/examples/popcorn.py
I was able to fix the problem by applying a fix from the Fedora Core 7
release of newt (0.52.5). The patch is appended below:
