It would be useful to create a test script
from pylab import figure, show
fig = figure()
ax.plot((1,2,3))
fig.savefig('test')
show()
and run it under different backends
> python myscript.py -dPS
> python myscript.py -dAgg
> python myscript.py -dTkAgg
to see if all have the bus error. If we could isolate it to TkAgg or
*Agg, that would be informative.
Also, try installing Numeric and test to see if it is numpy specific
> python myscript.py --Numeric
> python myscript.py --numpy
