Package: ipython Version: 0.7.2-3.1 Severity: normal
When threading is enabled (tested with -pylab or -gthread options), ipython sometimes crashes with a Segmentation Fault when trying to use tab completion. This does not happen systematically, but often enough to cause painful losses of interactive sessions. I did not observe this without the -pylab or -gthread options. Example session follows: : tiny:~$;ipython -pylab Python 2.3.5 (#2, Jul 30 2006, 15:57:01) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
