In addition to Josiah's response I will note that the warning you get is
specific to the Mac's malloc implementation (or maybe more generally to
Darwin or *BSD). It's not necessarily that the problem doesn't occur on
other platforms, just that the malloc implementation doesn't include that
sort of check by default.

I've used that stuff but it's been awhile. Try "man malloc" in a terminal
window. If that doesn't get you going post your questions
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. That's were most of the Mac-head
Python developers hang out.
