Category: Threads Group: Platform-specific Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Yariv Ido (dcoder) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: The readline module can cause python to segfault Initial Comment: When starting an interactive interpreter in another thread, with readline's completion functionality, there exists a race condition which causes the Python interpreter to segfault. There's a small discussion about this bug at <http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue30>. Attached is a small proof-of-concept code. Please note that some people couldn't reproduce this on slower machines. I've managed to reproduce it on several Linux systems (Dual Xeon computers), using Python 2.3.4, 2.4 and 2.4.1c2. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1166660&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
