[Python-Dev] Newly Built Python3 Binary Throws Segfault

[Guido van Rossum]

There could be a million differences relevant (unicode, ints, ...). Perhaps
the importlib bootstrap is failing. Perhaps the dynamic loading code
changed. Did you get a stack track? (IIRC strace shows a syscall trace --
also useful, but doesn't tell you precisely how it segfaulted.)
