smtplib Segfaults Python under Debian

[Alex Stapleton]

localhost:~alex#python
Python 2.3.3 (#2, Feb 24 2004, 09:29:20)
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import smtplib
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens under python 2.2 and 2.3 and 2.4

argh!

everything else seems to be ok, any ideas anyone? I believe this to be the
debian testing version.

Debian is a PITA at times :/
