On a system with python2.3, we have openssl-0.9.7c and Cert. Manager does a seg fault trying to do: xext = crypto.X509Extension(name, critical, value) at line 604 of CertificateRepository.py.

If I additionally install python2.2 in this second system, then the Certificate Manager runs OK again. This makes me suspect the python version.

I'm not sure about the dependence on the python version, but I could see why the crash was happening. It is now fixed in CVS:

Thanks Bob, that seems to have fixed it; I managed to send a certificate request from a machine using python2.3 without seg faulting. It also seems to have fixed the problem of the VenueManagement tool often (mostly) crashing while modifying a Venue, unless RH7.3 was being used as OS. I've made a few changes to our AG2 venue without any problems. FYI, (and in answer to your earlier email), this distribution is Slackware 9.1, which uses openssl-0.9.7c-i486-2 and python-2.3.1-i486-1. Its interesting how the python version (2.2 vs 2.3) triggered the problem without being involved in the fix.
