The segfault isn't caused by faulty code but by a call to abort() in
Py_FatalError(). The interpreter fails with an hard error because it is
unable to locate the encodings package.


$ PYTHONHOME=/ python3.2
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ImportError: No module named encodings
