[Matplotlib-users] ipython intermittently segfaults when figure is closed.

[Kaushik G. <Kau...@hm...>]

Hi,

I don't know for sure if this is matplotlib's fault. ipython's fault or Mac OS 
X, but I ever since I upgraded to matplotlib 1.0.1 I have this problem that 
ipython will exit with segfault after I close a figure.

I have not found what exactly causes the crash, but it can happen with the 
simplest of figures.

This is one of those annoying intermittent problems: I can't replicate it with a 
sequence of steps.

I can often run days with the same ipython shell, generating many many figures 
without problems, and sometimes everytime I plot a figure, ipython segfaults out 
after the figure is closed.

The Mac OS X stack trace is attacked to the tracker ticket I opened
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3328133&group_id=80706&atid=560720).

Many thanks
