Bug#377329: python2.3 -c 'int(buffer(__import__("array").array("c")))' segfaults

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: python2.3
Version: 2.3.5-14
Severity: normal

python2.3 -c 'int(buffer(__import__("array").array("c")))' segfaults

This was discussed on the python mailing list but should be fixed
anyway as python should never segfault. This bug is reproducible on i386
stable and with python2.4, too.
