[collectd] Segfault with python plugin

[Giorgio Lansing]

Hello,
I'm using collectd-4.10.0 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit with python 2.6.4rc2. My
python plugins seem to be working fine and collect data successfully, but
when I checked the logs I noticed that segfaults were occurring frequently
and collectd was restarting every 5 minutes.

Here is a snippet from my syslog:
May 15 20:06:35 localhost kernel: collectd[5779]: segfault at 9 ip
00007f030d0f1bc0 sp 00007f03057adf48 error 4 in
libpython2.6.so.1.0[7f030cfd4000+233000]

terminated by signal 11

1273953995 when last update time is 1273953995 (minimum one second step)
...

Is there a way to fix this? This seems to happen with every python plugin
I've tried including the sample one in the docs.

Thanks,
Giorgio
