Crash (double free) on OpenBSD on POST request

Description

I currently experience crashes when issuing some POST request on my application. Repoduced anytime with:

% ./manage.py shell
>>> from django.test.client import Client
>>> c = Client()
>>> c.post('/admin/')
python in free(): error: bogus pointer (double free?)

The code used to not crash, and one day, I found it not working anymore. I am definitively unable to find the cause of the behaviour change.

Box configuration

% uname -mprsv
OpenBSD 4.5 GENERIC.MP#0 i386 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)
% ./manage.py shell                                                                                             15:30
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Mar  1 2009, 15:10:20) 
[GCC 3.3.5 (propolice)] on openbsd4
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
'1.0.2 final'

I tried the very same code on another box (not same hardware) with same
OS, python and django versions, and it works (I so hope this is not an
hardware issue).

Some debugging

I narrowed down the source of the error to the following line from
django/http/multipartparser.py file using pdb. Do not hesitate asking some more information.

609             yield parse_boundary_stream(sub_stream, 1024)

Please find below the stack extracted from gdb. I tried using pystack but it not seems working.

The stack dump shows mxTextTools is, for some reason, involved:

#5  0x079dcd2b in mxBMS_Free () from /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mx/TextTools/mxTextTools/mxTextTools.so

Can you try testing without that module installed?

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

You guessed perfectly right. This module was installed as dependency to pylint and after removing it, my application worked fine again.

Sorry for the noise, and thank you for the quick answer.
