I am building Python 2.6.4 on a shared server and am encountering test failures in test_hashlib.py and test_hmac.py, specifically concerning sha512. I recompiled Python with --with-pydebug and CLFAGS=CPPFLAGS="- g" and ran the tests in GDB and got the following results:

() -------------------------------------------------------------------- In the case of test_hashlib.py, it segfaulted on the first sha512 test when I didn't have the debugging options enabled. Only after enabling debugging did I get FAIL's for the sha512 tests. Does anyone know what is causing these failures? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
