A user triggerable null pointer occurs when parsing invalid DBref records. This was reported by Jibbers McGee. This can be triggered in Mongo shell: db.python532.insert({x : {"$ref" : "whatever"} }); Or in Python shell: import pymongo pymongo.MongoClient().test.python532.find_one() A workaround is reportedly available: Add "process_dbrefs=False" to all the drivers External reference: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/PYTHON-532 Upstream patch: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver/commit/a060c15ef87e0f0e72974c7c0e57fe811bbd06a2
