Last time I saw this it was eventually traced to a compiler optimization
bug, on an Intel platform running some flavor of Unix.  If you recompile
Python with optimization turned off, and the problem goes away, it's almost
certainly the same problem.  DejaNews can be used in that case to track down
the details.
