OK, that's a start.  Try running the following at a command line, via plain 
python:

import pprint

from matplotlib.transforms import unit_bbox
b = unit_bbox()
print pprint.pformat(b)


This is what I get:

planck[~/test]> python pprint_bug.py
<Bbox object at 0x8f3c99c>

If you get a segfault, it means that there's a problem with those objects 
triggered by pprint.

As a temporary workaround, you can permanently disable pprint in your ipython 
sessions by setting

pprint 0

in your ~/.ipython/ipythonrc  file.
