I'm catching up on the python-dev archives and see your message. Note that I submitted a patch back in May to fix this same problem: http://www.python.org/pipermail/patches/2000-May/000638.html There you will find a working patch, and a detailed discussion which explains why your approach results in a core-dump.

I had a look. This problem was fixed by removing the call to PyErr_Clear() from (at that time) line 359 in Objects/object.c.

If you think your patch is a better solution/still needed, please explain why. Thanks anyway.

I submitted this patch back before Python moved over to SourceForge, there was a small amount of discussion about it and then the word from Guido was "I'm too busy to look at this now", and the patch got dropped on the floor.
