[egenix-users] Python 2.7.4 generates SIGSEGV when cleaning up mx.URL

[Peter Loje]

On two separate systems (i686 running Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 and x86_64
running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS) I'm getting segmentation fault when Python
2.7.4 exits after having loaded mx.URL.

I have compiled Python and mx.URL from sources. The latter using:
$ md5sum egenix-mx-base-3.2.5.tar.gz
2f982afa5ac70691965e9990df138186  egenix-mx-base-3.2.5.tar.gz

In the file egenix-mx-base-3.2.5/mx/URL/mxURL/mxURL.c the segmentation
fault is generated in line 2789:

2776 void mxURLModule_Cleanup(void)
....
2789     Py_XDECREF(mxURL_MIMEDict);

GDB backtrace provided below.

BTW I wonder why the module reports version 3.2.4?
$ find egenix-mx-base-3.2.5 -type f | xargs egrep 'MX.*_VERSION "'
egenix-mx-base-3.2.5/mx/BeeBase/mxBeeBase/mxBeeBase.c:#define
MXBEEBASE_VERSION "3.2.4"

egenix-mx-base-3.2.5/mx/UID/mxUID/mxUID.c:#define MXUID_VERSION "3.2.4"
egenix-mx-base-3.2.5/mx/URL/mxURL/mxURL.c:#define MXURL_VERSION "3.2.4"

Did you forget to bump up the patch version from 4 to 5 when releasing
mx-base-3.2.5?

Best regards
