It is cygwin / Windows XP, Scipy version is 0.6.0.

No, I'm processing large text files and the matrices originate
from them. Further I am not allowed to give those files away.

There is no backtrace despite a message window telling that
the Python interpreter chrashed.

Further I am not able to reproduce the problem on smaller
matrices.

gdb says:

   Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
   0x102d6860 in tk84!TkFinalize () from /cygdrive/c/Python25/DLLs/tk84.dll

I think the TkFinalize is from the message window, I do not
use tk or matplotlib in my script.

Greetings, Uwe
