Hi All, I wrote a multithreaded crawler program in Python 2.4 using Mysql 5.045 and MySqldb version as MySql-Python 1.2.2 on MAC OS 10.4.10 .
The program strangely segfaults while it is running perfectly in Ubuntu and Windows as well. The gdb stack trace of program is below: LuLu:~/tempdownloads/crawl tspencer$ gdb python GNU gdb 6.1-20040303 (Apple version gdb-434) (Wed Nov 2 17:23:33 GMT 2005) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Can anyone please provide me with a insight into this problem and solution to it ? What might be the cause of this problem or how to go about further debugging it ?
