[Matrix-SIG] Compile problem

[Jeff Collins]

I'm trying to run the function "test" in the following shared extension
module.  Under irix6.5 (compiled with g++ in egcs-1.1.2), a
segmentation fault occurs as it executes the cout statement.  It works
fine with the same compiler on Solaris-5.6.  Any ideas what might be
going wrong?  In both cases, Python-1.5.2 was compiled with gcc
(egcs-1.1.2) and g++ was used for the shared object linking.  

This is the simplest form of the problem I'm having.  It first
appeared in an attempt to create python wrappers for a custom c++
wrapping of fftw; calls to those functions failed in the same way.

Thanks,

Jeff
