The problem was in my code. I've included a header before 
#include<Python.h> that had this define in it:

#define DEBUG(a) { fprintf(stderr,"DEBUG: %s",a); }

which caused the crashes, duh. Once I removed it my program stopped 
crashing.
So, I'll keep 1.4 on SCO and simply wait for SCO to die off
instead of wasting my time trying to get 2.2 to build on SCO.
