Thanks  Chris for the clue's   it worked,  I  was just wondering  how
could the
C extension   be debugged ?

 We have pdb at python side and gdb for C  , can we run gdb on python side
?  if there is a crash like the one we saw in the above diff we are
clueless of what's happening? any idea or recommendation on how we handle
such cases
