Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: interpreter crash when import .so fails

Initial Comment: The python interpreter crashes when import _socket fails (.so). This only happens when running purify (on solaris 2.8). The problem is that dlerror() returns NULL, which is then passed to strlen().

Attached is a file with the stack trace which caused the problem, and a patch to fix the problem.
