smtplib Segfaults Python under Debian

[Alex Stapleton]

localhost:~alex#python
Python 2.3.3 (#2, Feb 24 2004, 09:29:20)
[GCC 3.3.3 (Debian)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import smtplib

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens under python 2.2 and 2.3 and 2.4

argh!

everything else seems to be ok, any ideas anyone? I believe this to be the
debian testing version.

Debian is a PITA at times :/
