I also tried running the standard 'wikiserver.py' file with my standard
python and it still gives me a segmentation fault:

Here's version. Seems to be the same.
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2

I've compiled python quite a few times before and I am quite familiar with
getting all the necessary xxx-dev packages together. I assumed that it
all compile fine since there where no warnings or errors and 2.7 compile
fine and ran the 'wikiserver.py' file fine.

I also tried running the 'wikiserver.py' file on another machine with 2.6.5
and it worked fine. I can only assume that I somehow broke something
in 2.6.5 across my entire system.

I don't really know how to approach reporting this to the python devs, so
if anyone would like to direct me, I would gladly accept the help and report
this problem. Otherwise, I'll just use 2.7 for now.
