I use Ubuntu Mate 15.04 as the OS of my Pi 2 Model B. When setting up a pin using

RPi.GPIO.setup(pinNum, RPi.GPIO.OUT)

My program crashes without any exception.
This function runs perfectly on Raspbain, but not on Ubuntu Mate.
Maybe this is a bug.

Does this still happen with the latest versions of Ubuntu and RPi.GPIO?
