Wow -- I actually managed to make Python throw a segmentation fault. That should be some type of Programmer's achievement unlock.
"Achievement Unlocked! Caused a segmentation fault in an interpreted language."

If Python uses some underlying library in C or similar this is no surprise.

Yeah it appears there's an issue with a C extension in one of the modules I'm using or there might be some runaway recursion. I'll do a stack trace and see what's going on. It's very random (can run for hours and sometimes will fault in a minute or two).

My first thought when it happened was that my memory might have bad bits since I've never encountered that before with Python -- but memory checks out.

Pass around enough multiterrabyte arrays and you’ll generate all new and amazing kinds of errors. Congrats!
