Summary: core dump with regrtest.py on SGI

the following output:

Lowering the priority -- as Tim said, it's likely an
optimizer bug anyway, so I see no reason (for us :-) to lose
much sleep over it.

The first thing to try on an SGI box is to recompile Python 
with optimization turned off, and see whether that makes 
the problem go away (historically, the bulk of "Python 
problems" on SGI turn out to be compiler optimization bugs).

So try that, and see whether the problem goes away.
