segfault problem

I am using the latest snapshot from the CVS repository and am getting a segmentation fault when using ylabel with certain strings. Below is a code snippet that crashes on the last occurance of ylabel. Does this crash for anyone else?

from matplotlib.matlab import ylabel
                                                                                
ylabel('bia [cm]')
raw_input('continue')
ylabel('Bia [cm]') # seg fault
raw_input('continue')

What does your .matplotlibrc look like? In particular, do you have
interactive set? I had to change the first line above to 'import *' to
get the show() function. If I change my .matplotlibrc file to

backend: TkAgg
interactive: true

I can do as many ylabel's as I like without difficulty. Fedora Core 1,
latest matplotlib CVS.
