Summary: Segmentation fault with kernel 2.2.12 (PR#103)

Details: Jitterbug-Id: 103
Submitted-By: apsteffe@netwood.net

Version: 1.5.2
OS: Linux


I'm using glibc 2.0.6 and kernel 2.2.12 and gcc-2.7.2.1 .  When I try to
 execute httplib.HTTP() or urllib.urlretrieve() I get a segmentation fault.
The functions work ok with kernel 1.2.13 .

The Linux and glibc kernel versions don't mean much to me.  Can you
fire up a debugger and see where in the C code it crashes?  Also, is
this for a specific URL or is it for any URL?  If a specific URL, I'd
like to know which one.

Finally, did you get or build the Python executable matching your
kernel?  A Linux upgrade from 1.x to 2.x seems a big deal, it's
possible that you'll need a new Python installation or build.

Comment:
Probably caused by a huge jump in Linux kernel version without recompiling
Python.
