I think the problem with the rpm binary is that I built the binary rpm 
versions against a debug-version of Python. 

Most people install from source on Linux, because this is the first time 
somebody has complained and I'm sure others have stumbled on this.

I've been using a debug version of Python for a few months.  I will 
probably switch back soon, which should make these issues less of a 
problem. 

Try building from source directly.

Best,
