My suspicion today is the same as it was the last time you reported this.
It should be impossible for Vpython to cause g++ to generate an "Internal
error" and cause a Segmentation fault.  Did you follow the suggestion
above and "submit a full bug report"?  One very real possiblity is a
compiler bug of some sort.

Also, the last time you reported this, you noted that running the same
command several times in succession gave different segmentation faults.
That's often a sign of either a hardware problem or a disk file system
corruption problem.  Did you follow up on my suggestions last month to
look into those issues?
