[issue5091] Segfault in PyObject_Malloc(), address out of bounds

[Charles-Francois Natali]

> The code that is segfaulting is using pycrypto and sqlite3, so it may be that a bug in one of these is trampling on something.  No idea how to investigate any further. 

You could try valgrind:
$ valgrind --tool=memcheck -o /tmp/output.log <prog> arguments

This slows down the execution, but can reveal certain types of memory corruption.
