Exactly the same, or not exactly but crashes in the same function (just on a different code path), or not exactly but at least in libcxattr module, or quite different? What python version do you use? If you use python 2.4.*, with external ctypes, then what source you've taken ctypes from, what version? Thanks, Csaba
