I'm using both Python 2.0 (Solaris 8) and Python 2.1 (Linux [Redhat
7.1]). I have not seen stability problems and could not reproduce the
problems you had.

I have currently very little time, but I'll try to work on python-ldap
in the near future.

Can you give me more details what you do to crash the interpreter? A
simple bind+search works for me:

--8<--
Python 2.1.1 (#1, Jul 20 2001, 19:59:19) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-85)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ldap
>>> s = ldap.open('localhost')
>>> s.version = ldap.VERSION3
>>> s.simple_bind_s(...)
>>> s.search_s(...)  
...
>>> del s
>>> 
--8<--
