[Ivano Lacerenza]

Various tools like apport-retrace and apport itself sometimes cause the Python interpreter to segfault.

This has been confirmed by several duplicates, but we need a proper reproducer before we can attempt to fix this.

So, does anyone still have this problem in Edgy and/or Feisty?

[Marco Hartgring (marco-hartgring)]

I have this problem and will post reports once I get some, just clicked some away by accident.

[Marco Hartgring (marco-hartgring)]

Here we have a report

Take 2, this happened first thing I logged in after a reboot.

Here on feisty hurd 5 I have yet to see apport-gtk successfully work.

Martin, do we really need the Procmaps stuff when the only thing we have is a interpreter exception?

Usually not, but in corner cases it might be helpful (loading
additional libraries/plugins at runtime, etc.). Does it hurt to have
it in the reports?

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

still lacking a test case which lets us reproduce this. apparently no new reports seen for gutsy.
