crash when loading a lib on OS X

[Christoph Pingel]

Can anybody tell me what's going on here (or give me a pointer where
to start looking):

I'm afraid that something's wrong with my system, but I had a hard
time googling for getCPSProcessSerNum: it returned 0 results. Same at
Apple's site...

What does CPS mean?

Thanks for any input,
best,
Christoph

What were you trying to do? What program were you trying to run? We need
more than a crash dump to help with this.

Kevin,

thanks for picking this up. What I did was:

- Start python from the command line
- run "import orange" (orange is in site-packages)

I get a 'bus error' and python crashes.

Orange is a data mining lib for python:
http://www.ailab.si/orange/forum/index.php
I tried it with their lib, I compiled one from source on my machine,
and I tried it with an older one another user sent me. All end up
with this error.

I'm on a tiBook 668 MHz, running OS X 10.3.6

Looking at my logs, I found that other apps (that used to work)
recently also crashed with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001). Something in my
system seems broken. On a OS X forum somewhere I found someone who
experienced this kind of crashes when trying to run Logic Audio (a
MIDI/Audio software by Apple) and got it running again after
re-installing the system. However, the installer fails ('there was a
problem with the installation process. please retry.') when I try to
re-install 10.3 with the option to keep my settings. So I'm pretty
much - stuck. :-(

best regards,
Christoph
