this happens when running moinmoin 1.5.4, and doing a
gui-edit. mod_python-3.2.10, httpd-2.2.3, solaris 8,
compile with gcc-3.4.6.

ok ... i will.

we noticed similar errors when running:
 * edgewall trac 0.11-dev (which uses edgewall ghenshi)
 * xml-rpc plugin for edgewall trac

also, i filed the bug report after changing to newest 
mod_python. the old mod_python with apache 2.0.54 did not 
give a core, just segfaulted.

Please file this bug report with mod_python.  That's
typically the cause and it will likely be very hard for any
Python developer to create this setup and much less try to
reproduce the error.

If you can provoke the same error without mod_python or
other third party C extensions, please file a bug report
with the minimal test case to reproduce.

If you need a work-around, I would suggest changing to a
different version of mod_python.
