[pypy-dev] Fw: Crash!

[Ben.Young at risk.sungard.com]

Further to my previous mail, current check seems to crash much more often 
now:

$ ./pypy-c.exe
debug: entry point starting
debug:  argv -> c:\Documents and 
Settings\YoungB\dist\pypy\translator\goal\pypy-c.exe
debug: importing code
debug: calling code.interact()
Python 2.4.1 (pypy 0.7.1 build) on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>>> import test
>>>> test.rpython.main(100)

-> Segfault

Cheers,
Ben
