This problem apparently affects people on (newer) Ubuntu versions, particularly when running proprietary graphics drivers. I can confirm it to affect Ubuntu Precise on 32 and 64 bit with NVIDIA drivers.
There has recently been some bug hunting on the Visual Python mailing list and John Zelle has found out what the probable problem is. The proposed fix seemes to have helped several users, by reverting to version 8.0.2 on libglapi-mesa, whereas currently 8.0.3 is installed. It seems like the proprietary drivers have been compiled against 8.0.2, so that any code using it segfaults against 8.0.3. However, this might mean that the bug has got to be escalated elsewhere.
