Matplotlib occasionally crashes Python at the end of a long program on my powerbook g4 running OS X 10.4. gdb output follows:

It's always something like that, and it always happens after the little Python icon starts bouncing around in the dock. I don't know anyone named Ronald and no such directory exists on my machine.
What version of matplotlib, what version of Python and where did you them from from (build from source, some binary installer, fink...?)

It's Python 2.5, and the new Matplotlib 0.9 built from source. I saw the same problem with Python 2.4.3 and Matplotlib 0.8.(can't remember), which was part of the reason I upgraded. However, I didn't look at the problem with gdb using the earlier versions.
Thanks,

This still sounds like a problem in which some component was built with a different version of another component than the one you are actually running. Are you sure you have only the one version of mpl and one version of python, so that the former was compiled against the latter? And the same for numpy or Numeric or numarray?
You might want to look back through the mailing list archive; there has been a lot of discussion recently about how to get a working combination of numpy and mpl on a Mac.
