I'm not sure if this should be a bug/defect, but it is definitely worth
noting that snoopy and trac do not like each other. What snoopy is (from
[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9226]):

{{{
Snoopy is designed to aid the task of a sysadmin by providing
a log of commands executed. Snoopy is completely transparent to
the user and applications. It is linked into programs to provide
a wrapper around calls to execve(). Logging is done via syslogd.
}}}

For one of our websites at DePaul University, we have apache 2.0.55,
python 2.3.5, trac 0.9.6, and debian sarge (kernel 2.4.x). By adding
snoopy, trac would fail. In the apache logs, one can see that every time
an attempt was made to access trac, an apache child process would produce
a segmentation fault similar to this:

{{{
[Sun Oct 01 02:06:55 2006] [notice] child pid 14810 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
}}}

Running trac-admin stand-alone while snoopy was running also produced
segmentation faults. Once snoopy was removed and apache restarted, trac
started to work again. This is easily reproducible.

Thanks,[[BR]]
Vince

Comment (by cboos):

I don't think Trac has much to do with this... have you tried with other
Python scripts? Is Trac the only one triggering the issue? If this seems
to be the case, try again with a simple python script using the Subversion
bindings, I wouldn't be surprised if this also fails...
