Hello Python Developers,

I would like to draw your attention to a segmentation fault bug which concerns the packaged versions of Python 2.7.11 as seen in Ubuntu's latest 16.04 release and in Debian testing.

I have reported this bug in Ubuntu's tracker here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1580577

The report contains a script which can reproduce the error for both distributions' python2.7 packages.

The plain python.org version 2.7.11 does not exhibit this problem.

Matthias Klose, Debian maintainer for the package, has asked me to report this problem upstream, because otherwise we will invariably run into this regression in 2.7.12.

I'd like to help in tracking down this bug, please advise.

Thank you,
