[Numpy-discussion] glibc invalid pointer error

[David H. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have a script that crashes, but only if it runs over 9~10 hours, with the
following backtrace from gdb. The script uses PyMC, and repeatedly calls (>
1000000) likelihood functions written in fortran and wrapped with f2py.
Numpy: 1.0.dev3327
Python: 2.4.3

Does this backtrace give enough info to track the problem or do the gurus
need more ?

Thanks,
David
