core dump / Objects/dictobject.c:471: bad argument to internal function

[(::) Bob Ippolito]

I got it to work.. what I had to do was turn off CIDict.. like this in setup.py

line 16: defines =       [#-- ('USE_CIDICT', None),

it fixed both modes (I guess they're called synchronous and asynchronous?).. no 
more SystemError or core dump.
