[Python-Dev] test_tcl failing... (original) (raw)

I'm getting a malloc() error in test_tcl when I run "make test":

test_tarfile
test_tcl
*** malloc[3674]: error for object 0x4cca408: Pointer being reallocated was not allocated
make: *** [test] Bus error (core dumped)

Platform is Mac OSX 10.2.8, "gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1493)", OPT=-Os.

If I run it independently I get one failure but no core dump:
