[Open Babel] python bindings broken in 2.2.1 on 64 bit linux

[Rajiv N. <ask...@gm...>]

Python bindings seem partially broken on my 64 bit system. Anyone else
experiencing a similar problem?
It builds and installs ok, but running scripts/python/examples/examples.py
segfaults at the following line
obConversion = openbabel.OBConversion()
It also segfaults when importing pybel. Libopenbabel and the perl bindings
seem to function ok.
