Thanks Chris for the clue's it worked, I was just wondering how
could the
C extension be debugged ?
 We have pdb at python side and gdb for C , can we run gdb on python side
? if there is a crash like the one we saw in the above diff we are
clueless of what's happening? any idea or recommendation on how we handle
such cases
