[New-bugs-announce] [issue20347] dir(__future__) gives segfault on OS X in 3.2 and 3.3

[Christopher the Magnificent]

New submission from Christopher the Magnificent:

On OS X 10.9.1
This works:

Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug 25 2013, 00:04:04) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin

>>> import __future__

This also works:

Python 3.1 (r31:73578, Jun 27 2009, 21:49:46)

In Python 3.2 and 3.3 it appears broken.

Python 3.2.2 (v3.2.2:137e45f15c0b, Sep  3 2011, 17:28:59)

also
