Does "from pyPgSQL import libpq" segfault already, too?

Can you try the following:

1) Build pyPgSQL with debugging info:

$ python setup.py build --debug

2) Under bash, enter: "ulimit -c unlimited"

3) Run the test suite. You'll get a core file (let's suppose it's called 
python.core).

4) Fire up gdb and load the core file, then show the backtrace:
gdb> core python.core
gdb> backtrace

Do you see anything that makes sense there? Could you post the traceback?
