[Python-Dev] Possible C API problem?

Note sure what you mean "CVS HEAD", you mean the latest python from 
cvs? 2.4? I'm still using the Apple python, which is straight 2.3.

It's been around 7 years since I've used C, I've forgotten virtually 
everything I may have known about gdb, I've never worked with the 
C-python API before... meanwhile there is intense time pressure to get 
the next release of our product (http://www.goombah.com) ready. So it's 
just not practical for me to take that on myself now. I'm hoping to get 
some help from other pythonistas where someone will say -- "yes, it's 
getting a bus error for so-and-so reason, and if you do it this other 
way, you'll be fine..."

Thanks,
Gary
