FYI, I tried on two 64 bit SMP machines (4 way and 2 way), running Mandriva 2007 and 2008 2.6.17-6mdv #1 SMP Wed Oct 25 12:17:57 MDT 2006 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 280 GNU/Linux Python 2.4.3 (#2, May 7 2007, 15:15:17) [GCC 4.1.1 20060724 (prerelease) (4.1.1-3mdk)] on linux2 2.6.23.1-1mdvsmp #1 SMP Sat Oct 20 18:04:52 EDT 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz GNU/Linux Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Sep 13 2007, 09:02:56) [GCC 4.2.1 20070828 (prerelease) (4.2.1-6mdv2008.0)] on linux2 I could not reproduce the problem with Steven's test file id2name.txt on either. sendspace seems to be over capacity, so I haven't been able download your keys.txt. I wonder if this might not be a glibc issue? If you own built python 2.5 linked with the same glibc version as the system python? What does ldd /usr/bin/python say vs. ldd /usr/local/bin/python ?
