Okay, this seems to fix it:

void interpreter::execfile(char const* filename, dict& globals, dict& 
locals)
{
     FILE* file = 0;

     handle<> py_file(allow_null( PyFile_FromString(filename, "r") ));
     if (py_file)
         file = PyFile_AsFile(py_file.get());
     if (!file)
         throw std::runtime_error("Failed to open file: " + 
std::string(filename));
     handle<> result(
         PyRun_File(file, filename, Py_file_input, globals.ptr(), 
locals.ptr()) );
}

Apparently, my C library is incompatible with the one my Python 
installation was built with.

Anyway, it would be nice if this sort of low-level stuff was a part of 
Boost.Python, so that I wouldn't have to make a fool of myself by 
getting it wrong and posting about it. ;)
