Create a minimal script:

  from pylab import plot, savefig, show
  plot([1,2,3])
  savefig('test')
  show()

and run it with

> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dAgg >& runagg.out
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dPS >& runps.out
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dGTK >& rungtk.out

You may want to move this conversation over to the devel list.

John,

   Mea culpa! I forgot to stick them on.

> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dAgg >& runagg.out
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dPS >& runps.out
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug -dGTK >& rungtk.out

You may want to move this conversation over to the devel list.

   I just returned the subscription confirmation, and will append the output
files in a response to that list.

   Quick summary: the first two above just ran; the third ran and displayed a
window with the plot. No segfaults on any of them.

   Then I ran simple_plot.py a fourth time -- using WXAgg. That generated the
segfault.

Many thanks,

Rich
