Hello,

Does somebody know how to debug this kind of bug ? (see following
traceback)
I suppose that the bug is in my program (executable with python
embedded) and not in python... but how to locate it ?
I tried to compile all C sources calling Python.h with -DPy_DEBUG and
to link my code against config_d/libpython2.5.a, but I get no more
information.
Is it the right way ?

Can gc module get interesting information ?
