Description Jason Vas Dias 2005-09-23 19:57:26 UTC
Description of problem:

Upgrade to rawhide-20050923 .  Try to run python:

$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Sep 22 2005, 18:40:22)
[GCC 4.0.1 20050919 (Red Hat 4.0.1-14)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Fatal Python error: Invalid argument
Aborted (core dumped)

These means that compile commands such as this also fail : 
$ echo 'from compileall import compile_dir\ncompile_dir(".",1)' | /usr/bin/python
Fatal Python error: Invalid argument
Aborted (core dumped)

So no python package can be built in the FC5 devel beehive dist at the moment.
  
Core dump files available on request.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.4.1-8

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
$ python
 
Actual results:
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Sep 22 2005, 18:40:22)
[GCC 4.0.1 20050919 (Red Hat 4.0.1-14)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Fatal Python error: Invalid argument
Aborted (core dumped)

Expected results:
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Sep 22 2005, 18:40:22)
[GCC 4.0.1 20050919 (Red Hat 4.0.1-14)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Comment 1 Mihai Ibanescu 2005-09-23 20:48:02 UTC
Fixed in -9 or newer.

Comment 2 Mihai Ibanescu 2005-09-23 21:06:34 UTC
I lied.

Comment 3 Robert Scheck 2005-09-25 16:18:37 UTC
Problem exists in -10 anyway (as "segmentation fault" here) - I guess you can 
reproduce it easily ;-)

Comment 4 Peter Jones 2005-09-25 21:04:58 UTC
Should actually be fixed in -11.  What a fun week.

(Also note that the compile command above is better written with python -c)
