Segmentation Fault on exit

[Vipul Raheja]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

However, the error occurs even if I don't do anything, that is, even if I
simply import the library and exit() after that.

I created a file a.py whose contents were the following:

import pyossim
exit()

Upon execution, the log was as follows:

vipul at vipul-laptop:~/ossim-svn/src/pyossim/swig$ python a.py
Segmentation fault

Following was the gdb log:

vipul at vipul-laptop:~/ossim-svn/src/pyossim/swig$ gdb `which python`
