[New-bugs-announce] [issue17706] Segfault in PyErr_SetObject

[Orion Poplawski]

New submission from Orion Poplawski:

I'm seeing a segfault running the scipy 0.12 tests against numpy 1.7.1 with python 3.3.1.  The crash is here:

test_ticket_1645 (test_lapack.TestRegression) ... 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
PyErr_SetObject (exception=exception at entry=<type at remote 0x3032fface0>, 
    value=value at entry='On entry to SGERQF parameter number 7 had an illegal value')
    at /usr/src/debug/Python-3.3.1/Python/errors.c:67
67          exc_value = tstate->exc_value;
(gdb) print tstate
$1 = (PyThreadState *) 0x0

So it appears that PyThreadState_GET() is returning NULL and PyErr_SetOject() is not handling that condition.  Not sure if this is a sign of another issue.

it goes on a long ways down.
