New submission from liang <xfanliang at hotmail.com>:

In our testbed,we have seem serveral sgement fault in our python scrit.
The enviroment is:
linux=2.6.29.6-0.6.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
python=2.4.4-41.4-1
GCC = GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (rPath Inc.)] on linux2
Below are the detail call stack:

Segment fault when it try to load string.pyc.

We have seen it several times.However,the script is long running and 
we can not sure how it happened and how to make it reproduce.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
