I finally found out what the problem was -- I was using something that
was in the wx.* set of classes and functions, and it was the item
segfaulting. I was apparently making an assumption or doing something
wrong, though I didn't have this project in Subversion at the time so I
can't say exactly which changes fixed it. I have it in Subversion now,
though, so that in the future I can be sure to better find out what is
going on by having all of the information handy.
Thanks for the help!
