Dear list,
I'm using two external modules (matplotlib and pyroot). Both are using
different GUI threads (internally) Unfortunately, pretty soon after
I've loaded both modules and made some function calls (without
invoking GUI commands), python dies with a segfault. A libthread_db
captures the stack trace. My python version is 2.5 and I'm on a
Scientific Linux 5 system.
*** Break *** segmentation violation
