That's probably because they are both links to the same file. The 
UNIX/Linux filesystem uses directory entries (links) to point to data 
files, and so these two are almost certainly referencing the same data.

If you don't get a traceback or any other diagnostic output it's rather 
difficult to deduce what's causing the problem unless this is a known 
bug. It does appear there may be problems with both numpy and opengl.

Others may be more assistance with the seg fault.
