Summary: Seg Fault when compiling small program

Initial Comment:
I am using SuSE 9.2. When trying to compile/interpret
the attached file, the python interpreter seg faults
with no other information.

Please note: the attached test file does not end in a
new line.

I think this is fixed in Python 2.4.1... what version are you using?

It turns out that the seg fault was caused by the first line
of the program:

# coding: evil

It seems that specifying an invalid character encoding
causes a seg fault.
