Hi David,

Thank you for your response.
I switched from CentOS 4.2 to CentOS 5.2
Here is the output of

gdb python
run -v
# 
/data/home/nwagner/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/site.pyc 
has bad magic
...

What is the meaning of 'bad magic' ?

Should I start with a clean 
/data/home/nwagner/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages ?

Cheers,
                    Nils
