This looks very much like a malloc mixup: you have allocated a block with 
Python malloc() and you're trying to free it with MPW malloc, or the other way 
around.

If you make sure you put the PythonCore library before the StdCLib (or any 
other MPW libraries) in your link order you should be fine. At least, that's 
the trick that works under CodeWarrior, so let's hope it also works for MPW.
