Segmentation faults using threads

I wish I could! If I knew exactly where the effect takes place I could 
probably circumvent it. All I know know is that it happens under high 
load and with a lot of waitstates I can reduce the propability of 
crashing. So there must be some race condition somewhere I think.

Is there a way to analyze where the crash took place? I guess I can have 
a core dumped and somehow analyze it, but that's probably very hard to do.

Would a profiler work which records the function call structure?

Does someone have experience with threading in python - are there 
non-threadsafe functions I should know about?

Thanks,
