'./configure && make test' Seg Faults using a stock Python 2.2.1 tarball on both Gentoo 1.1a and Gentoo 1.0RC6r14. I tried to find out if anyone else has had this problem on '#gentoo', but got no response. I don't know whether this is related to the db module problems, but if I try to run unit tests for 'roundup' [roundup.sf.net], it seg faults when doing some dbm tests. I believe this may have been the case for previous Python versions, but I can't remember. If there's anything I can do to help trace this down, or provide more info, please let me know.

This is a known problem with db 3.2.3h. I have unmasked db 3.2.9 to solve this problem. Please merge 3.2.9 and try again, and the problem should be solved! I am very interested to know what happens either way, but it "works for me". I'm closing this, but please re-open if 3.2.9 does not solve the problem for you, and we will investigate futher!
