Please create a bug report on SourceForge for it (or send a traceback or two to me privately, and I can file a bug report).

Has always been my intent, I just want to do my homework, first, and see if I can't turn it into something reproducible that doesn't require mirroring my exact installation and Zope database.

If the tracebacks show that the segfault is occurring at different places in the C code, it's possible that some extension has a refcounting bug or is overwriting malloc'ed memory. The actual crash would then come later in different code that isn't actually buggy.

The tracebacks appear to be pointing to the same memory addresses. I'm generating a bunch, and I've gone back and rebuilt python with Py_DEBUG turned on to see what I can find out there.
