[Pythonmac-SIG] crashes on OS X

[Doug Wyatt]

I used the Unix flavor of 2.1 on X for some time.  I recently installed 
2.2b1 from source, tweaking things only very minimally (I think I only 
added GNU readline).

If I start the Python interpreter in one terminal window, then execute a 
Python script in another, the script bombs (backtrace below).

Before I spend some time trying to debug this, is it a known issue?

If not, first thing I'll try is removing all the Carbon/Toolbox 
modules -- I don't know why _InitHLTB should be on the stack (HLTB = 
High-Level Toolbox); I'm suspecting that one of the Mac-specific dynamic 
modules is invoking Carbon at initialization time.

Failing that I'll spend some time in gdb...
