By far, the most common problem extending/embedding Python is to do wrong  
reference counts.
Read http://docs.python.org/ext/refcounts.html again (I hope you already  
did!) and make sure you don't hold a pointer to an object without  
incrementing its reference count, by example.
If you can shrink your application to the minimum code that shows the  
problem, try posting it here.
