Arch Linux

Description: After upgrading to python2-geoip package version 1.2.8, the binary will segfault Python. Tested on 2 Arch testing machines.

However, if I build the package manually from svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/python-geoip/trunk (revision 195467), I cannot reproduce the problem. Possibly a simple rebuild will fix this problem.

(I have [testing] repositoroes enabled, which may have something to do with it).

Here's how I can reproduce this problem:

% gdb -ex r python2
