[Python-Dev] RE: Painful death in debug build

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

  Given that Guido's already done the efence run, I'll ignore the
weird result I'm getting.  ;-)
  On a laptop running Mandrake 7.2, Python configured --with-pydebug,
and lots of free memory, I get this:


beowolf(.../python/debug); LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libefence.so.0.0 ./python ../Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
