Summary: Python 2.4.0 crashes with a segfault, EXAMPLE ATTACHED

Initial Comment:
Running the attached example crashes python 2.4.0 on linux (segfault) and Windows. Python is compiled on Debian Linux 3.0r3 (Woody). On Windows XP, I used the MSI installer downloaded from python.org

This may be a problem with the regular expression module, but I'm not sure. Please assign a new category if it appears as a regexp bug.

This bug causes permanent crashes in my new WEB applications. Old apps not using regexp and PyMeld seem to run correctly.

Thanks for 2.4.1.

What do you do to make it crash?  "python index.py"?

It doesn't fail for me with CVS HEAD.
