AIX 4.3, Python 2.4.1 fails in test_exceptions with a core dump

I'm attempting to switch from 2.3.2 to 2.4.1 on our AIX 4.3 development system. I have no problems building Python 2.3.2. I build Python 2.4.1 using 'configure --without-threads; gmake; gmake test', and always get a coredump during the tests on 'test_exceptions'. I've searched for any reports of this problem on the Sourceforge bug list and here, with no success. Has anyone seen this problem?

Your question is more on the borderline than most, but please try comp.lang.python before posting here; although you've got more core developers on python-dev, there's a broader spectrum on c.l.py. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n nx prgrmmng.
