xml.dom.minidom.parseString segmentation fault on mod_python

[qertoip at gmail.com]

Python 2.4.4
mod_python 3.2.10  +  Apache 2.0

def index( req, **params ):
    from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
    doc = parseString( "whatever" )

=> blank screen, _no_any_exception_; Apache error_log:
[Fri Jan 26 10:18:48 2007] [notice] child pid 17596 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)


Outside mod_python code works well. Any ideas? I would be grateful.
