Hmm .. interesting ... I actually only noticed it when I started to  
use ipython since that's when I really started using the interactive  
shell in any serious way.

We even had a recent email to the ipython list about this very issue  
(it causes a Bus Error, not a Seg Fault, sorry).

I'll try installing it again to see what's cooking.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
