Hello, With the current snapshot (20130521) on Windows XP, the following fails (with an empty stackdump): % /usr/bin/python pyfoo Abort (core dumped) % cat pyfoo import xml.sax xml.sax.make_parser() % cat python2.7.exe.stackdump Stack trace: Frame Function Args % /usr/bin/python --version Python 2.7.3 % With some dichotomy, i found that under the 20130430 snapshot it works (no "abort", no stackdump), but under 20130501 it does the same as today (ie abort). My original python program (from which i extracted this test case) seems to run correctly until the end of it, where the abort occurs.
