[egenix-users] mxODBC Zope Adapter, Zope 2.7, Debian --> CRASH!

[info at egenix.com]

Dear Jim,

we don't think this is an mxODBC / Zope issue but probably more low level 
in the Python ODBC-Manager world.

Could you please try loading mx.ODBC.iODBC or .unixODBC from the
Python prompt (for this to work, you may have to cd to the lib/python/
dir and have '.' in your sys.path).

We assume it's some sort of glibc issue or something is wrong
with the iODBC / unixODBC installation. A stack trace from
the core dump would help a lot.

Regards

Charlie Clark

PS. The source is not available not even under NDA but probably wouldn't 
help here anyway.
