[issue7424] segmentation fault in listextend during install

[Jon Buller]

Jon Buller <jon at bullers.net> added the comment:

I recently upgraded my SparcStation20 to NetBSD-current and thought I 
would try installing python again.  I found that both 2.7.1 and whatever 
was the most current 2.5 pkgsrc version as of a few months ago built and 
installed just fine.  I'm sorry I can no longer help debug this, but the 
bug was very repeatable on 2.6 and 2.7 for several years and often 
happened with 2.5 as well. But I can no longer repeat it.  I also can't 
say if it is a GCC bug, a NetBSD kernel or libc bug, or a python bug. I 
was sort of expecting it to be a NetBSD bug since I don't remember ever 
having problems with x86, amd64, or sparc64 NetBSD systems, but I still 
believe it could be just about anywhere.
