Whenever the library's switch function is used it segfaults. How to reproduce:

>>> def test():
...     print 12
... 
>>> def run():
...     gr = greenlet(test)
...     gr.switch()
... 
>>> run()
12
Segmentation fault

There is already a fix available upstream. The package can either be updated to the 0.4.0 version or the commit b17773a can be cherry-picked. A backported version of the commit is attached.

Comment 2 Pádraig Brady 2012-10-22 17:09:11 UTC 
TBH, testing that it still works on x86 is fine here (and it should as it's separate). This should be looked as low hanging fruit to support OpenStack on power.
Comment 3 Yaniv Kaul 2012-10-23 07:10:10 UTC 
Note to QE: perform sanity (via Tempest) on x86.
