Finalization problems

[Robin Becker]

A colleague reports finalization problems with a particular extension
running under 2.1.1 and Solaris. The problems don't occur with NT. he
reports sigabort right after the cleanup __builtins__ and before the
cleanup ints. Both Python-2.1.1 and the extension are built using gnu
tools.

The distinguishing feature is that the extension is used more than once
in the cases when the abort occurs.

Not having access to the corporate Solaris machine I can only ask what
sort of things might cause this eg do I have to search for all known
python variables looking to see if they are correctly ref counted etc?

Are there any things I can try with the NT version?
